Software Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 6.1 with Window XP Home

Domain Name Com's - Software : Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 6.1 with Window XP Home

- Extreemly Slow. Do not waste your money
First let me tell you my operating system:
iMac G4 800 Mhz with 512 Mb Ram

In Short:
Pros:
1- It is cool to have a windows operating system on your mac, and run windows applications on it.
2- multi operating systems
3- more stable than an actual PC

CONS:
1- EXTREEEEEEMLY Slow.
2- LIMITATIONS: most application will run tooo slow to even consider using them.

Description:
1- EXTREEEEEEMLY Slow. and I do not mean it is tolarable. nope, it is taking me 3 hours and still going, just to install my HP all in one 6100.
2- LIMITATIONS: you realy cannot run many applications, and I do not mean at the same time. Yes it is probably true that you can run almost any application that runs on a PC on the virtual PC, but not in a way that is usefull. I was able to install ALMOST every application that I can thin k of (sometimes they take ALOT of time to install), but when it is time to run them, they are sooooo slow, that I just give up.
let me give you a sense of how slow: to start explorer, it might take 1- 2 MINUTES, same for Word, anything that is not microsoft takes much longer it seems. Trying to run a trading software such as Harris Direct Marketspeed or Fidelity's active trader is not possible. These two applications would take around 15 minutes (versus < 1 minute in a pc with the same operating system and with a Pentium II ~ 400 MHz processor) that is if they even work at all. Opening "my computer" takes 10- 60 seconds depending if there is any other application working.

IN SUMMERY:
this is a great concept, but I DO NOT recommend this application AT ALL ......... UNLESS you have a 1.25 G3 mac with > 1GB RAM, THEN you COULD TRY IT AND TELL US, I think then it might be tolarable. Possibly with the next version supporting the G5 it will run at an exceptable level (this one does not run on a G5).

and PLEASE REMEMBER, if you DO NOT have WINDOWS 98, or above DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SOFTWARE, but purchase the one with operating system you want, since that will be much cheaper unless you want that OS for your PC.

- No wonder there is no money-back guarantee
Installing VPC on a 1.25 ghz Mac took me back to the days of the original Mac. No, not because of its easy-to-use elegance, but because VPC with XP Pro is slower than a Mac One with only a floppy drive. I allocated 352 mb ram and 16 mb vram, and to say that it "ran" would be to insult the concept. It crawled, it oozed, it petrified... I used the Windows version of Explorer on my broadband, and it took minutes to load a page that OS X loads in 3 seconds. In fact, no page fully loaded as no graphic ever appeared no matter how long I waited. Microsoft is supposed to deliver an update in 2004. As always, the magazines will give it reasonably good reviews, but unless you get it "free" with the Office "update" you should wait to read the Amazon reviews.

- This one does work
I have used Virutal PC with Windows 95 and that worked fine. But Not the one for windows XP (Virutal PC 6.0 at the time) But when I ordered Verson 6.1 with windows 2000 it worked well so far and it seems still to be working fine With OS X 10.3

The Virtual PC Program is a good Program but not with Windows XP please note that I tried it with Virtual PC 6.0 at the time. I had to order an other verson Virtual PC 6.1 but this time I tried it with windows 2000 works alot better then the Windows Xp did. Runs fine with with MAC OS X .

- Virtual PC does not work on the G5
Virtual PC is not supported by the G5's. If you want to run dual operating systems, do not buy this product or the G5!
