It used to be the best even after it was the only game in town. In this case free might be the best price point.

thank you apple for writing Boot Camp!!
and FREE is my favorite price
lol

yea i got rid of Virtual PC when i sold my PowerBook on eBay
i bundled it with it
i never used it except for ripping ringtones for my phone and my friends phones (because us teens love to keep the latest songs as our ringtones, and i refuse to pay for them)
and i figured out how to do it in garage band now
so that's all good

and i still haven't installed boot camp
with no need to also

when i'm home i'll use Remote Desktop Connection to one of my Optiplex GX260's
to do the little pc work i need done

As far as I can tell this is a PC only version.

kelly,

I'm puzzled. Why would anyone with a PeeCee want to run VPC?

Run Windows 95 maybe.

what kelly said is correct
the pc users buy VPC to run older versions of windows for older applications.

and who cares, last time i checked this was a Mac site... lol :smile:

take care y'all,
parker

uh yea
it is the *cough cough* pc version that's free
