Summary: A must buy!!
Review: Excellent product, never crashes and delivers what it promises. Don't expect to go on a speedy downhill rollercoaster with your new "pc desktop", but if you only need it to run a few not so complex applications, VirtualPC is the way to go. After all, it's windows on a mac...

Summary: How to Get Several Laptops for the Price of One
Review: I've been using Connectix' Virtual PC for quite some time now. In my experience it has been easy to install and it has been easy to use. The new version 4 adds some much needed flexibility that allows one to more easily run multiple operating systems as well as to tune each OS installation to more closely match one's needs. I think the most compelling thing about Virtual PC is that it does a far better job of emulating a PC on a Mac than any application I've ever seen for emulating a Mac on a PC. This may not sound like a big deal, but when one is travelling and/or consulting in a mixed-mode environment it is really a LOT easier to have only one laptop upon which one may easily switch from system to system without rebooting and without reconfiguring. For the cost of a Powerbook or an iBook and Virtual PC, one has essentially a fleet of PC's with the ability to run and support Macintosh, DOS, Windows in all its many flavors, Linux, and yes, OS/2. Note that this also allows a person to log in to any aspect of a mixed mode networking environment. Very handy and exceptionally cost effective!

Summary: Great Product - Awful Tech Support
Review: If you are thinking of buying this product to utilise your Mac as a PC as well, then you are on the right track. However, if like me you have a few peripherals, some development tools, etc. there will come a time when you will need tech support. That's when you hit a brick wall. You have a better chance of emailing your gold fish and getting a response than from someone at Connectix. I mean that most sincerely. Weeks. Absolutely weeks go by before someone will wake up to the fact that you have written in and respond to you. Then they will ask you for more information. Then you will respond and then another month or two will go by. Think hard before you make this purchase if this is the kind of company you want to deal with. Because you are going to be facing many, many lonely weeks waiting for their response, if it ever comes.
