Running Vista in VPC 2007

Published 03 August 07 04:10 PM

I have my Orcas test bench environment setup in VPC 2007 using a Vista base image as the foundation for my Orcas differencing drive.  That said, it has been driving me absolutely crazy how slow Vista performs under VPC - so after a quick search, I came across this post from a while back by Ben Armstrong.  Just doing step 3 did wonders for me.  Vista now performs at level that's more than acceptable for me (by acceptable, I mean that the performance is such that it doesn't compete with Orcas for my attention).
