    Can anyone who has experience with Virtual PC please advise whether it can run on Win XP and importantly W2K3 Server. I was hoping to run both applications on Virtual PC, and I would strongly consider buying a G4 if this was possible.


    Thanks.

    I think that it would be better to wait for the intel powered powerbooks to come out if you are going to be using virtual pc alot, i haven't actually used virtual pc yet, but i would think that the emulation would work better using a native windows processor then a g4 processor. But otherwise they both should work, although not blazingly fast. The most crippling thing is the graphics performance.

    it's amazing how easy it is to make a fast operating system when you only have to worry about people using it on 3 different computers huh? :)
