I keep a windows xp VM around almost exclusively for Vector Magic. I've never tried it with photos though. Mostly for improving the quality of logos by vectorizing then exporting a higher-res PNG.

Maybe I will finally be able to get rid of it. I can't tell right now, I think Primitive is being hugged to death currently.

Vector magic runs perfectly fine and does a great job even in high Res photos on Win 10. About 90 seconds for 2048x1433 image with some intricate details at high quality setting (as compared to offered medium and low quality settings) with unlimited colours.

But results are still pretty nice even at low quality setting with limited colour palette. Hardly takes 15 secs.
