TEX4S Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 you might want to run it in a virtual pc setup or VMWare as you will inevitabely void your warranty w/ Sony (if it is still active) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgo89 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 If you run vista as a virtual machine, you will not get the aero effect. Meaning for VMware, it uses a virtual graphics enhancer, it does not use your actual one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litespeed Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 FWIW, I'm totally sold on VirtualBox. I'm running Gutsy at home and have an XP SP2 machine (256mb ram) running under VirtualBox. I can honestly say XP loads and runs as fast as on the same native hardware. In fact if you full-screen it, you'd be hard-pressed to tell it wasn't running natively (until you tried a 3D game of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berserk87 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 i didnt find virtual box as "user friendly" as vmware, and i had issues trying to setup some stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyther Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Like what? I have found virtual box to be extremely easy to use (unless if you want to do bridged networking that gets a tad bit hairy!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
