I put it in a VM. It was slow prior to enabling the processor virtualization thingy (it's half tweleve in the morning, I'm allowed to not remember it... Intel VT or some such?), and now it's runs like a dream. No aero because the VM won't let it run the Windows Experience Index thing, but I shook a Window today and that made me feel powerful ;) Lappy gets a free upgrade to Windows 7. Based on what little I've played with in the VM, me wanty.
