VPC 5.0.2 is out

[laguila]

The ReadMe file promises "...significant performance enhancements for Virtual PC running in Mac OS X" but I would be more likely to call it "modest". Things like Quicktime do launch faster, but screen re-draws still seem pretty sluggish.

I'm running VPC 5.0.2 on an AGP G4 400 with 512MB RAM.

I'm curious: what are other people's sense of the increased performance?

Also, I suggest you "Save Hard drive changes" before you upgrade or you might get a message saying the changes are corrupt and that you have to revert to the last saved state. That wasn't a big deal for me since I only use VPC to test web sites but it might be for others.

I have a similar set up. 400mhz G4 AGP with 512mb ram. Using 98 I did notice a speed up but not significant enough for me to use it. Windows and menus appear a bit faster but not enough to be useable. I didn't even try XP after seeing the so called improvements in 98.

What about you?
