    does anyone have any experiance with this? it sounds amazing, you can open a windows emulator on yr mac, and as far as i can tell use windows programmes that don't have mac equivilants. seems pricey though, anyone know where to get a free trial or something?

    Yes its pretty much Windows on your mac but at a very sluggish pace.
    Get Windows 98 and its almost reasonable, XP is click and wait 20 seconds though.

    Its pretty decent but you can pretty much get a mac equivalent for most programs

    Agreed, although on a dual G5 XP is quite usable. I tried to run XP and Mandrake Linux on VPC on a 1.2GHz G4 Power Mac . . disaster. However 98 and ME were fine, I used them do compile COBOL programs for college because I couldn't find anything COBOL for Mac.
