One thing to be aware of is that it doesn't include a copy of Windows.

Now to see what users make of it...

i'd like to see some comparisons between it and vpc. they don't do demos, so i won't be trying it. and as i get vpc for free through school, this would have to be pretty good software.

then again, seeing as how vpc isn't anything to write home about, i'll be waiting for the reviews.

Nothing new here. Following a long period of vaporware, Lismore Systems released its Blue Label Emulator. It was about $30, but it was sl-o-o-o-w. It was introduced in the same time frame as MacOS X, but was not compatible with Apple's new OS. Its website changed domain names a time or two. The emulator disappeared. Lismore Systems rises from the ooze once again. My suggestion is to wait for some reputable product reviews before even considering this product, if that is what it is.
