I have recently installed VirtualRPC-SA on my new Windows 7 Home premium PC and overall am very happy. It runs perfectly with UAC set at whatever the default now is with Win 7.
The only oddity I've found is that when working in RISC OS if I start copying / moving or deleting large amounts files then VirtualRPC-SA will freeze requring ALT-Enter, File -Exit "Do you really want to quit ?" - OK to fix.
I can then restart VirtualRPC-SA and carry on where I left off (once I've worked out what's got copied), it will as likely as not freeze again a bit further on. It seems random-ish, in that sometimes it freezes after 1 or 2 files have copied (or been deleted), sometimes after a reasonably large number and sometimes, when there's only a few left to copy and it can copy when doing a few files (4 or 5), or larger numbers (20 or 30 or more), but it never fails in exactly the same place. even if I tried copying the same bunch of files again.
It does it whether doing it from one place to another on the install drive or from a CD or other Hard drive / external Pen drive etc installed via mounts.
I usually work round it by exiting VRPC and doing the file copies / deletes etc from Windows, but it's not ideal.
My Windows machine is SATA only, there are no IDE connections on the Motherboard whatsoever, don't know if that makes a difference. Spec of PC in case it's of help
