4.0 out of 5 stars Relief!, April 2, 2007

It was a relief for me to be able to keep and upgrade Word and Excel, and to get Virtual PC (for Access) as well. I used them a lot on my PC a few years ago, and when I first switched to Mac, couldn't find software that did what they did. I had no trouble installing the upgrade on my iMac G5, nor did I have trouble installing Virtual PC. The only thing that WAS disappointing was that I couldn't find out whether accessing the Internet from Virtual PC would open me up to PC-type viruses, or if Mac's Unix system would protect me there, too. I continue to be disappointed that the Mac version of this software is not as rich as the PC version. But the upgrade itself worked well for what it was meant to do.

I was able to install most of MS office but am having printer conpatability problems. I wasn't able to install Vitural Pc properly and get error messages when i boot up. I'm going to have to the Mac store genius bar to get the problems straightened out. All in all I think that every thing will work OK but I'm going to have yto travel over 50 miles to get it fixed. Maybe it's best to stick with Mac software for Macs. I've NEVER has a problem installing them.

I purchased the upgrade since I'd already bought both Office v.X and Virtual PC 6.1 last year.

The biggest letdown is that Microsoft's promised support for the G5 is nearly non-existent. I have a dual processor G5 with an ATI Radeon 9800 card (Apple), and after trying to install Virtual PC 7 three times, I cannot get a VM to work. It did install (and work) flawlessly on my G4 Powerbook. Googling for reviews finds it's very hit or miss, but if (when) it misses, you'll regret investing the extra $$$ in an immature product.
