1.0 out of 5 stars Virtual PC does not work on the new G5's, February 12, 2004

The Virtual PC is not supported by the new G5's. Do not buy this software or the G5 if you want to operate dual operating systems. They have no information as to when or if it will be supported

4.0 out of 5 stars Works just fine on a G5, March 7, 2005

As much as I hate Microsoft I still need their software. VPC 7 works just fine on my 2.5 G5. Not a speed demon but more than acceptable performance.
