Why wouldn't you use VMware or VirtualBox for guest computers? It's faster than VPC! It's pretty good for running guest computers. My best bet for running a Windows guest OS is trying to figure out a hack that will let me install the Microsoft Virtual PC software on Windows 10. Problem with Virutal Box is it's made by Oracle, a company that has no internal knowledge of the Windows OS (only MS employees know really how Windows works internally), so it's not optimized for running Windows guest computers. So if you are needing to run a virtual pc, and you have the home version of Win10, you seem to be just out of luck (and need to switch to something like Virtual Box instead). Virtual disk files are already slower than normal drives without the addition of the network latency. Yes, even home versions of Windows (that don't natively support virtual pc emulation) now won't let MS Virtual PC run. From my experience, trying to run a windows 7 vm on a network storage is not a good idea unless you disable the pagefile, the added latency to accessing that file could result in terrible slowness.
