[Vista] Testing Vista Feb CTP on VirtualPC

Today I installed the Feb CTP of Vista on my box at home, under VPC. The install was noticably faster than before, but even so took about an hour I think. I went out for a while, enjoying the spring sun, so I'm not sure exactly how long the install took.

After reading some advice on the Net, I installed the VMAdditions from the Virtual Server R2 program instead of the additions included in VPC. I don't know much of the difference, but performance in Vista is good enough to give it a real go. Just missing the Glass effects and sound is not working, but these are known issues.

The only thorn in my side right now is that I cannot get networking to work. I've seen some problems related to NAT and such, but I have to read up on it to see if it is related to my problems.
