If Windows on a PC runs slow, will it perform same way on Mac?

[QUOTE="louishen, post: 918954, member: 40142"] Basically any PC set-up that is running slow on a PC will have similar problems running on a virtual PC, its a fault of windows. But to get a pC system running in a VPC (Sun do a decent free one called VirtualBox) you will have to start with a fresh install of Windows, so performance will be much better, but you will still need security software for any virtual machine connected to the Internet. If you get a Mac, it is much better to do more of your daily work and Internet access using Mac programs, since OS X will not get any malware (unless you willfully install untrusted software). Adobe will let you cross grade any of their software to Mac OS versions and there are plenty of alternatives to FrontPage that are much better programs anyway. So in short, if you buy a mac, use OSX and OSX programs and use a VPC only for those programs you cannot use in OSX and, of course, for testing websites in IE. [/QUOTE]
