Ouch.

No, I meant Delphi with no service packs.

I applied the service packs later, for the sake of it, but with Win32
programming on D2005 pro running on a VM I never experienced the problems

Well, I had it running fine with 512MB RAM on the host.

I later upgrasded to 1GB ont he host, and it still runs fine. :)

Sure.

I am just curious as to whether it does actually run better in a VM. It
would be interesting to hear the results of some of the people who had
problems before trying it.
