   Not so slow. In comparison with VmWare's BeOs-emulation M$VPC is   
   lightning fast. :-)

   Hm... AFAIR nothing special. Create guest operation system, put the 5   
   Pro install CD into drive and run this guest OS. It boots from CD and   
   ... I do not remember any special tricks during this - only basic   
   knowledge required, I hope. :-) Note that the window with guest OS   
   should be active - looks like VPC stops it's "CPU" in case it inactive.   
   :-) I have a rtl8139 network card in my PC - and it is "transparently"   
   visible to guest OS. There are some additional network configurations -   
   for me works only this "real" NIC.   
      
   I have only M$ VPC build 582 under my hands. Some time ago I have tried   
   with some Connectix trial version, but have no success with it.   
      
   Regards,
