XPSP2 and Virtual PC 2004 and KB 884130

KB 884130 lists MS Virtual PC 2004 as one of the applications that may have
problems with XPSP2 virtual OS's. The article briefly mentions that the
problem may be performance related when using a host OS that is XPSP1. I
cannot find any additional information about this issue.

I was planning on having XPSP2 tested on XPSP1 machines using virtual pc.
Any update or more in depth info would be appreciated.

There is a performance issue using XP SP2 guests with Virtual PC and it
should be corrected with the release of Virtual PC 2004 Service Pack 1.

If you have access to Virtual Server 2005 you can use the Virtual
Server 2005 Additions in Virtual PC 2004...This will make Windows XP
SP2 perform a lot better.
