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

- Minimum requirement: SuperComputer to make this product run.
Advertised 25% faster.. OMG! If it was any slower it would be stopped. I made a mistake with my G4 1 gig Powerbook of installing just 128 megs of ram on my first install due to I only had 512 megs of physical ram. Not even worth running.. even Solitaire runs like a dog. So I upped my laptop to a full gig & made 512 ram available to my next XP install thinking "problem solved". No difference, No exaggeration.. slow slow slow.
To be honest, if it ran at a good or even acceptable level.. it would be really nice. It is very easy to configure, the support is great: sound, nic, video configuration all works very well.
Very Very pricey tho, prolly need a dual G5 to bring it up to an acceptable level.

- bad experience
Ran the Windows XP nicely but was unable to connect to the internet from the Windows environment which was the whole reason that I bought this program.
Tried everything on the support site on the internet.
Spent over 3 hrs on hold and talking to people at Microsoft. As far as I can tell there is no one at Microsoft who provides virtual PC support. Whenever I was told that I was being connected to that "group" I was on hold until a nice person came on to tell me that everyone had gone home.
so for me this was total waste of money.

- WHAT MICROSOFT "FORGOT" TO TELL YOU--DOESN'T WORK WITH G5!
ZERO STARS. MICROSOFT ONCE AGAIN PROVES THEY ARE INEPT AND LAME. After a fair amount of research and thinking finally I wouldn't need to worry about compatibility issues (after all, I was going PC) I open the box (read: restocking fee) and install the software only to get this friendly Bill Gates message "Virtual PC doesn't work with your machine." That's right. It sure doesn't. In System Requirements admittedly it says for any G3 or G4 Mac and I wasn't thinking "Oh that means not a G5" but it should CLEARLY STATE NOT FOR G5. After all it goes into a whole bunch of mumbo jumbo about adaptability with Jaguar OSX. So what does work with the G5? After being guided to Mactopia and after a bit of digging around it says "Virtual PC for Mac G5 --stay tuned we're working on it." Yeah, I keep my eyes glued. Just another reason I'm glad I own a Mac.

- Works well in Panther.
If you've been using previous versions of Virtual PC and upgraded to Panther to find that they weren't working, you will, unfortunately, need to upgrade to Virtual PC 6.
This is not an entirely bad thing. VPC6 has generally been more stable in my experience, and has added some great features. First and foremost, dock integration. VPC6 allows you to use a Start Menu in your dock, which can speed up the process of using the software -- just click, go to the program you want like you would in Windows, and then VPC will launch and start the program.
Also, it allows you to have currently running programs in your VPC session show up in the dock. You can retain these icons in the dock, or use them to force quit an app (although this doesn't work 100% of the time in my experience). Finally, running apps are now shown in the window that pops up when you do a command-option-escape. You can force quit them there if they hang, but again, I've had spotty results.
If you work in an environment such as web design, where you must see your site on all kinds of OS + browser combos, this is absolutely great. It beats having a PC around. However, for extremely processor-intensive tasks, you will need a PC. This is just an emulation, and when you get beyond casual use, you will find that it's underpowered for huge tasks. But for opening strange PC-specific files, tweaking the odd access database, or checking websites (especially if your bank refuses to work with Mac browsers), Virtual PC is great.
It will also easily grab your old VPC5 discs and import them into 6.
