Yes, indeed, I do. Xy4 in virtual W2K runs faster than it did in
*real* WXP (on my ancient Dell), which can't be said of Xy4 under
virtual Win7. In fact, under W2K, it has the immediate-response feel
of Xy3. But, more important than speed, what I'm getting from W2K is
a sense of greater solidity in full-screen mode; no hangs, which I
was experiencing from time to time in Win7. And, of course, the
pleasure of being able to use the Alt-Enter toggle again. W2K is
turning out to be a wonderful way to run Xy4, a real pleasure.

Oh ... guess I should have posted the Sumatra link:
