I took another look at Freevo and grabbed the latest version.
They've FIXED the speed problem!

Tried to install some video games:
Starcraft – Works flawlessly
XCOM – UFO Defense (Windows version) – Chokes on install. Says that UninstallShield is in use

It's been a crazy week.
On Saturday (couldn't talk about it until the deal was announced), they told me that Atlantek (where I work) was about to be acquired by Zebra technologies. On Monday, it was. So, I now work for Zebra.
