    Gonna take about forty minutes. Let's plonk it on Virtual PC and see what the fuss is all about...

    EDIT: for a few giddy seconds there, I was downloading at 3.14MB p/s *judder*

    It's levelled out now at 0.99MB p/s. Sooo slow. lol.

    Well I have managed to get intstalled as a VM machine on my mac, and it is working nicely and with a smaller footprint then my Vista VM machine. However I have come across one odd issue in that when I try and run either Solitare or Majong it locks up and then eventually bluescreens.

    Has anyone else had this?

    It's not a bug, it's a feature!

    It's there so that you can't slack off playing games when you're meant to be working :wink:


    Seriously - I've almost finished installing the OS, so I'll test it when I have it up and running.

    Installed on my laptop as a VM with Virtual PC and both games run ok. Quite impressed with it so far.
