VPC Convert

Hey folks,

I've been a strong fan of VMware workstation for many years and resisted
moving to VPC for quite some time. For technical reasons, I was forced to
use VPC for some ISA firewall testing. Much to my surprize, I really liked
VPC and now consider it the superior solution. VPC has better performance on
WinXP, the file copies from the host to guest OS is much smooth and faster,
and the networking feature set isn't nearly as bad or difficult to manage as
I thought it was. While VMware has a couple of features that are a bit more
polished, overall, I think VPC is a better solution!

Just wanted to post this from a former VMware partisan and zealot :-)
Thanks MS!
