@ Satish dude check my new post on Sun Virtual Box. You will definitely find it useful. It’s a great way to virtualize your OS. It’s very fast compares to Virtual PC 2007. Also, it’s very easy to use and comes with a load of features.

@ Satish… Yes Satish you are right when u run XP in VISTA the performance is horrible… It is kind of ok with a 2 GB RAM or a 3 GB RAM. But I had to run a software which wouldn’t install in Vista so i used this to work on it. Also, it’s good for learning purpose only but not for complete functionality. This can also be used in XP to have some other older versions of windows to run on virtual machine. Just to check them out… That’s it…. But I hope IBM Symphony lotus is kind of okie…

Thank you for your comments…

I duuno abt virtual PC , but Can you try Sun Virtual Box and compare both?
One good thing i observed abt virtual box is, its available on all platforms,so virrtual disk created on one platform say windows can be easily portable to other platform like linux/solaris.And good support to accept iso as cd drive even if physical drive not present.

Hey Suyash I really wonder if this is of any use because when you run XP on a Virtual PC in Vista , the perfomance and the response time is really horrible!! I tried the same with a PC configuration of 1.5 GB RAM and 2.66 MHz processor…Didn’t you feel as such?!!
