Virtual PC? Whats up with that?

bling:
Does it actually work? How well does it emulate windows software, i.e. games. Or is it just for office and stuff.

slave:
What windows programs do you need to run on a mac?  Viruses?

VPC does not have DirectX...so, in other words it will not work with 99.999% of winblows games

Warcraft III is both Mac/PC, so if you bought the PC version, there is a Mac installer...same thing with Quake 3 gold, and a bunch of others, I'm sure.

Other Mac Game Porters/Mfrs:
www.aspyr.com
www.macplay.com
www.ambrosiasw.com
www.blizzard.com
And many more.

So, in other words, it's pretty much for Office. Appleworks can read and save in Office formats, as can a few others (Thinkoffice, etc). M$ actually makes Office for Mac, too.

So, there is almost no point in owning VPC.   :eek:  
Glad I saved you the $230, aren't ya?
