| "*Note that the test was tested on 10.2.3!" or it was a typo. I just bought VPC 5! There goes more money out the door!

| I just downloaded the upgrade and after installation, VPC still shows as V5.02 and I cannot use some of the new features because my "add-ons are outdated". It does, however, start and close much quicker. I have not run any programs on it as yet so cannot offer any comments at this time.

| Vyper: Don't hope too much. VPC is highly optimised for G4 processors with AltiVec support and even on the newest hardware isn't much for games. the casual office app might be okay, or webtesting in IE, but for games: buy a cheapo PC rather than VPC.

| Mixmeister Virtual PC is decidedly optimized for the G4. I used a program called MixMeister on my 533MHz G4, but cannot use it at all on my iBook. I love my iBook, but this was very upsetting for me. Oh well, I guess I'll have to live with the situation as I don't think anybody is going to pony up the money to ship my G4 and monitor to Japan.
