Software Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 6.1

Domain Name Com's - Software : Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 6.1


  

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - IT�S SO SLOW IT HURTZ
When I first started up Virtual PC with Windows XP/Professional [aka VPC+XP/P] on a 1.2 GHz Apple iBook G4 with 320 Mb RAM dedicated to VPC I thought that it had locked up --- but Windows XP was just very very very very slow coming up. The box says 20% faster but I can't even imagine what it must have been like on the minimum recommended processor. Pull-down menus sometimes take a couple of minutes to respond. VPC+XP/P may work OK on a Mac 2.5 GHz desktop with a 333 MHz bus, but it sure is NOT appropriate on an Apple iBook with only 133 MHz. Updating XP with REQUIRED security updates from Microsoft took well over 2 hours to install. After the software was updated with the required updates, the capability to view VPC as a drive on the OS X side stopped working completely and has never returned. The iBook's CD/DVD Superdrive only provides read-only capability to Windows XP. Also, I couldn't get my Visor Platinum to sync with the Palm desktop for XP software through either of the iBook's USB ports. Quite frankly, VPC+XP/P is just NOT worth the frustration one experiences running it on an Apple iBook. Perhaps when Microsoft finishes the new version for the G5 processor and dual processors are used on a 3 GHz desktop, then and only then, will there be a possibility that this software might be reasonably responsive. In the meantime I would recommend instead buying an inexpensive non-Mac laptop or desktop PC if one absolutely must run Windows-only software. It'll be less painful that way.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Product is Total Crap
VPC installed just fine, but it was absolutely impossible to install either Windows 98 or 2000 even though system met all requirements.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - TOO SLOW !!!
I bought this product so I can run Microsoft Visual Studio .Net from my Mac (A Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4/2 MB L3 Cache / 1.25 GB SDRAM). I spent $249.00 dollars for VPC. This is thing is too darn slow! I ended buying an eMachine with Windows XP Professional ($600). Now I use the Remote Desktop Connection program from the Mac. Know it feels that I have a PC on my Mac (Yuck!).



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Make it it works on your system
This is a great program when it works. A friend bought a Dual G5 Tower -- the fastest mac available. -- turns out it Virtual PC does not work with it. Make sure you check out the specs you need.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Useless with Windows XP; Dogged with Windows 2000
As a PC-to-Mac OS X switcher, I bought Virtual PC with XP Home so that I could continue to run some of my favorite Windows software: mostly small games and streaming media apps. XP Home under Virtual PC is so slow that it is practically unusuable. XP should not be an OS used under Virtual PC; for some reason, it runs incredibly slowly. I thought that maybe Windows 95 under Virtual PC would give me the speed I'd like. Although Windows 95 is more responsive, it taxes the CPU and running actual applications is quite slow (though better than XP). The best bet is Windows 2000 under Virtual PC, which will give you access to Windows applications, if you need. However, anything with motion like games or video is jerky, even on a G4. Don't count on Virtual PC to provide you with an alternative Windows experience on your Mac, as it is advertised. Buy it only if you must run a specific Windows application on your Mac, and then, use Windows 2000 and not XP.

As an alternative, consider Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac OS X, or just buy a desktop pc.
