I would think that this would be the preferred solution for someone wanting to
be able to maintain the Xywrite experience on a Mac platform. I have not used
Virtual PC, but HAVE, seen it first hand boot and run NT 4.0. :P

I would think that an OS would a little harder to emulate than Xywrite.

BTW, wasn't there some other people on the list that had tested this?
