VPC7 adds G5 support
today announced Virtual PC 7 for Mac OS X, an update to the emulation software for Mac OS X that provides access to Windows-only software, networks and devices. Virtual PC for Mac Version 7 with Windows XP Professional will ship for the first time as part of Office 2004 for Mac Professional Edition and as a stand-alone product in the first half of 2004. Virtual PC 7 will be available with other "guest" operating systems a few months after this debut. VP7 will include performance and usability improvements, as well as compatibility with the Power Mac G5.

You won't be able to get 7 for months yet, and there *ought* to be some kind of upgrade for you, by then.

VPC as part of Office? Sounds like a good bundle. Let's hope they don't inflate the price of Office so they can get it in there.
