Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 7.0 - 4 stars (This emulator works) - I've been us
Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 7.0 review:4 stars (This emulator works) - I've been using Virtual PC for about six months now and I am satisfied. I use Virtual PC to run Microsft Money and QuickBooks on a G5 with 1GB of RAM, of which 700MB is allocated to Virtual PC.
Using an emulator can be slow. But I've found that if you use one program at a time, it responds well. In other words, if you stay in Quickbooks and don't swap over to AppleMail, Safari, etc, the program running in the emulator works reasonably well.
Surprisingly, I haven't run across any Windows issues. Installation of Virtual PC and Windows XP, Money and Quickbooks all occurred without any concerns. I have not experienced any BSDs (Blue Screens of Death) or any other hang ups.
When running Virtual PC, the G5 will not go into sleep mode. So, if you leave your G5 running all day and night like I do, the energy savings mode will not kick in.
If you need to run more complex programs in Virtual PC, I suggest that you max out the RAM at 2GB and devote as much as possible to the Virtual PC.
One minor annoyance is that when swapping between programs, sometimes it take Virtual PC a long time to respond. So say you are working in Safari and you then move into Virtual PC. It can sometimes take 15-20 secs before Virtual PC responds.1 stars (Misleading Advertisement) - The product does not include the Windows operating system needed to make the program work, and this was not made clear in the advertisement. There is no benefit to buying this; I now need to track down Windows operating system for the Mac.1 stars (Virtual PC: a big waste of money) - Virtual PC is a big waste of money. For not much more money you can buy an inexpensive PC to run your windows based programs. Virtual PC is slow and is filled with glitches and problems but don't try to get any customer support because it is $35 to get help.
This is the CD-ROM version. The full version can be purchased by clicking on the "Buy Now" button below for around $109.99 USD.
