Strengths: Provides Windows capabilities on PowerPC Macs Weaknesses: Incredibly slow Summary: VirtualPC, which has been rendered obsolete by Apple's switch to Intel processors, is a safety net for anyone who loves Macs but has to survive in a world of Windows-only applications. Even though Firefox is now a true multi-platform browser, some organizations still insist on building even web-based applications that run only in Internet Explorer, a browser that's no longer developed for the Mac. So, being confronted by both of those situations, it was mandatory to have Windows access and, while VirtualPC does a decent job of running Windows on a PowerPC machine, the experience feels like Windows 98 -- the speed is so incredibly compromised that, while waiting for operations to complete, a user could go to lunch with friends and still have time to spare. 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful.
