VirtualPC preview for MacWorld?

[octane]

I thought I read on another rumor site that M$ finally got VPC to work with Mac 3D cards...

If you work your way from the beginning of this thread, you'll find that I touched on that subject a couple of times .. I think[!]

I'm very much looking forward to running a good VPC. I ran XP thru my DP G4 1 Gig for a while and it was surprisingly "adequate" for my minimal needs at the time. Considering that XP isn't going to change much and with Longhorn on delay, the newer G5s, M$ optimizations and possible 3D card accelleration could mean VPC might actually run VPC pretty damn well on such a machine.

I think that as the G5 and successive generations advance, emulation will be _more_ than adequate. And again, I can't see how Microsoft would care if -- and this really is pushing it -- that Windows XP ran better on a mac than it did on Intel hardware .. Microsoft still get a license and still make money. They're in a win win situation whichever way you look.

Can't wait to see.

Well, tomorrow will be the day when we get to find out what Microsoft have been up to. Let's hope it's something good
