   Vista and VPC

   will NOT happen. VIsta is a HUGE resource hog. The only way that will run on a mac is if it is powered with an intel chip, not PPC. Even quad core G5s have hard time emulating XP, Vista will just be that much harder. VPC is dead. MS knew what they were doing when they bought it from Connectix

   But

   parallels has nothing to do with the PPC platform. It is only for the intel, so your dreams of using parallels to run Vista on a PPC mac are misguided.

   so....

   So if this product is in Apple's stores, does this mean that it will compete with the rumoured similar product for the next OS X revision? Or do you supposed they will announce that the software will just come bundled with every new OS X install, new Macs etc. ?

   re: but

   thats why i said a mac powered by intel. NOT ppc. the other poster said PPC and thats why i said VPC (since VPC is PPC software)
   
   but i think the other poster was saying he wanted VPC to be able to run vista (which will never happen) my guess it would be like getting a 68k mac to run OS X through an emulator. just wont happen

   re: but

   fastamx79 is correct, i was basically saying that paralells is the new king of the hill, but that for those of us with ppc macs, i was hoping that they would be one last revision of VPC. Sadly, I believe fastamx79 is right, most pc's will only be able to run it with the new gui features turned off, let alone a emulated pc. VPC is dead, Long live Parallels!
