Windows under VMWare runs better then a native install
So I made the switch to dual-booting Kubuntu and Windows XP when 6.10 came out. I still needed access to things like the SQL Management Studio, Visual Studio 2005 and IE for my work w/ Altiris.
So I fired up VMWare and created an image, installed SQL Management Studio, SVS (of course), and Visual Studio 2005. After running Windows Update I got IE7 and started playing around w/ things.
I noticed the funniest thing, my Toshiba A20 laptop screams in the VM compared to my normal install. I am only missing things like Visio, Outlook and OneNote (which is the one application I can’t seem to fine a good replacement for). I just don’t understand why things work faster in my VM image under Linux then under an actual install.
More thoughts on that as they come up

About
I’m a little unsual in the fact that I’m a conservative who also works in the tech industry. Well maybe I’m not really unusal it just seems that way as you spend time searching around the internet and other things.
Anways I have recently switched jobs from being a Windows Network Administrator to working as a full time consultant for a company that specialize in Altiris. Its a great product, but a ton of information to learn.
During my spare time, when I’m not running, spending time with my wife or hanging out w/ my dog, I work on the documentation for Kubuntu (http://www.kubuntu.org) and have somehow become the lead for the Kubuntu side of things. The documentation is great but we always need help. So stop by and help us out…
