Just to be clear: you're saying that VPC won't run on OSX 10.4 and later? Given Lisa's problems with Parallels, this doesn't sound like good news. Philip
I just checked, and the names of the programs are getting confusing over at M$. But http://www.microsoft.com/australia/office/mac/virtualpc7/default.aspx offers "Virtual PC 7" for the Mac, including the G5 (presumably Intel hardware?). Is this only the Australian site for some reason? ... whereas, http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx offers "Microsoft Virtual PC 2007," a program for the Windows platform.
