Good about VirtualPC: the fact that you can resize your window and the Windows desktop in the VPC resizes accordingly. Not really important, but it shows that Windows can basically handle any desktop size which is nice to know.

Bad about VirtualPC: the fact that switching to full screen mode doesn't always work. I get it a lot of times that it just gives me an error message about my monitor not supporting the resolution or something (it really does though...) and then - here's the painful part - makes the window as large as the screen in stead.

Let me elaborate on that for a second: I can't stand windows that are "as large as the screen" but without actually being maximized. Basically because of Fitt's law really; I live by the fact that closing a window means slinging my mouse all the way to the upper right to click the close button. These windows that "emulate" being maximized often leave a pixel or more extra space over there so mostly I'm closing another window (the one behind it).

I hate it when that happens.

Internet Explorer has a tendency to do this once in a while too (probably because of some website's script), and it's not always that easy to make the window smaller by default again.

So if I switch to full screen in VPC, I want it to work (preferably) and if for some obscure reason it really must fail then please at least don't touch my window size. A big window is not the same as a maximized window.

Thanks.
