Frustrating attempt to emulate VMWare on a Mac


I tried this product on a twin 1.8 G5 with 1.256GB RAM.

At best it was a waste of time, it was like running a PC with just enough memory to run the OS and then running too many applications.

Don't waste your money on this product, you don't need it that bad!

Overview

Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 7.0

Editors rating
Rating: 7.3
Verdict

Microsoft's Virtual PC for Mac 7.0 is slow and a bit expensive, probably because it includes a Windows licence. But it's cheaper than buying and maintaining a real PC -- even a low-end one.

Typical price

£ 139
