Performance of OS running from a booted VHD vs normal partition
Hi folks!
Posting here after a long time!
As the title says, I am eager to know the performance (penalties or advantages) of running an OS booted from a VHD versus a normal partition installed OS.
Am thinking it would be a hassle free thing to try out Windows 8 once it enters beta, and since right now it would be a pain to allocate a new partition solely for Win 8 beta.
Also while I am at it, would also like to know if its possible to boot off a VHD residing in external flash media, and if yes, what are the restrictions for doing so (eg. Flash memory r/w params, min size, fs, etc.)
I tried a basic search but came up with way too much info. Will read through it after I get back home.
Thanks for your time, and cheers!
