It's really funny how threads evolve sometimes.  Upgrading to a new PC was
mentioned as getting a 25% speed increase of your application software, so
running a new OS in a virtual machine on a existing physical machine isn't
going to help.  Of course upgrading the PC was only brought up as a smoke
screen to Tony Smith's original rediculous (now apparently trolling)
statement that no software was speed-critical anymore.
