    am I supposed to update VXP?


    Hi y'all, I have had virtual XP on my W7 32 bit for some time, but never needed to use it. Now I want to run an old game that will not run on W7, so thought I would give VXP a go. Game installed fine, if a bit slow, and as it was installing I noticed that the windows update shield had appeared in the taskbar. I had a look and see that there are several KB and other files, all for XP of course, that it has downloaded and wants me to install.... surely I do not though.... do I????

    In my opinion, yes. I install all updates in the VM as well as run AV software. My take is that a VM should be treated just like any other physical machine you have.
