    Ever since ms

    took over virtual pc it sucks. For those who still have the installer, virtual pc 6.0.1 is the one to keep. Everything offered afterwards contains only Microsoft branding and broken printing.

    Look at MS homepage

    After reading the CNET article about the massive new Windows flaw, i went to the MS homepage and noticed right at the top that they say to install the new security update for Windows and VPC for Mac. Now I have to say, it might just be a kind gesture towards Mac users, but the first thing i thought of was that it looks like they are trying to find some way to get the words "Mac" and "security update" into one sentence so the whole world will see it. Maybe I'm just really cynical, but there is VPC for windows, so they could have just said "Virtual PC" and not "Virtual PC for Mac."

    Great.

    Another great product by Microsoft.

    Thank god I don't have to use it and have
    not since Microsoft took them over.

    I don't know of a company that is so fondly
    hated by so many.

    Hmm...

    Why can't someone just make a program like WINE for the Mac that doesn't have to load an entire OS to get things going?
