Be wary, this is the Windows version of VirtualPC. This is not the VirtualPC that runs on Macintosh.

Yeah, but what does anyone know about the release of VPC for the G5's???arden said:
I used to run dual monitors with one dedicated to VPC and the other straight up OS X. With my new G5 I'm left out in the cold for VPC.
It's be nice to have it back.

Well, I think VirtualPC for windows won't be such a big thing for the programmer. When it comes to other processor architecture (such as PPC) is smells like a lot of work. So, I really doubt they would release both (windows and mac version) at the same time. Eventhough M$ bought a couple of G5s probably for testing the software

Where mah "any" keys at?
Microsoft makes lots of Mac software... that's not the only reason they'd buy the G5's.
But yeah, emulating a Windows environment in a Windows environment is not a difficult task (from a programmer's view) because he doesn't have to change his codebase. But to get it to run on a different chipset is quite a feat, and takes a long time.
