Thanks to both. I thought I had found something more perfect than
CrossOver... :-)
I have seen a PowerPoint presentation, running on XP, given to a LUG by one of
the developers. The speed was such that no-one realised that it was running
under qemu until he closed down XP. Maybe it's a hardware issue, or maybe
there is tuning to be done. I don't know. What I do know is that it's the
only time I have ever seen that audience burst into spontaneous applause. It
was truly impressive.
