Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 7.0 [OLD VERSION] Reviews

MAYBE IT CAN'T OPERATE ANY FASTER IN THE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TOOL AS A HUGE ASSET FOR ANY MAC OWNER WHO ALSO NEEDS TO OPERATE WINDOWS PROGRAMS, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT WERE CREATED WITH PROPRIETARY WINDOWS PROGRAMING THAT WILL NOT FUNCTION ON ANY OTHER PLATFORM. THAT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH TO ACCOMPLISH, OR IT IS INHERENT IN THE PROGRAM. NO PROBLEMS. WORKS AS I EXPECTED IT OT. THE ONLY THING I HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT IS HOW TO MAKE IT "FASTER" THAN THE 397MHZ CPU SPEED AT WHICH IT THINKS IT IS OPERATING.

Good news, it works kinda. bad news Sucks up huge amount of memory, is too slow and doesn't work with DVDs and it crashes (like most PCs). Granted my Apple may be short of speed but if you need a PC to run programs you can't run with Apple, try something Apple will support like boot camp or maybe just use a PC

If only one would step into the world of Apple they would never go back. It will work but it is so slow. It was my mistake to purchase Vitural PC for Mac 7.0.

The item was returned due to non-compatabilityt with my Mac. The sales description shou;d have clearly stated the products limits.

I've owned previous copies of Virtual PC for a couple of Macs that I have had through the years. Use the menu settings to have Windows XP look bland like Windows 2000, and it will save on processor usage. If you must use Windows XP, be sure to turn off all the eye candy that comes with XP. I find that the Windows program runs just as fast as any other PC I have used. Windows 2000 has fairly low requirements, and runs much faster than Windows XP.

I bought Virtual PC for Mac 7.0 to use on my new iMac G5, because I need a Windows solution for a couple of programs that I need to use. Number 2, install the guest Windows OS on an external Firewire or USB hard drive. This program runs great and is actually very fast if you take care of a few things beforehand. By keeping Windows on a separate hard drive, the Virtual PC program has exclusive access to a fast hard drive.

Keeping data flowing to and from the processor through separate channels vastly speeds up regular usage. I didn't want to have a separate PC lying around for the few times that I need, so this was the best option. Most of the time when any OS is running slow, it is because disk access time is holding things up - not because of a lack of processing power.

When using a separate Firewire disk for my Windows 2000 installation, my 2.1 Ghz G5 processor does just fine running Windows. If you have Mac OS X and Windows running from the same hard drive the two operating systems are constantly fighting for disk access in the background, slowing things down. Number 1, I would recommend Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 as the optimal Windows OS to use with Virtual PC.
