5.0 out of 5 stars Great product!!!, October 4, 2003

This review is from: Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 6.1 with Windows 2000 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I researched the multiple versions of virtual PC before deciding on the windows 2000 version. I am sure I made the right choice. It is an extremely well written program. I can run all the windows software I need. It is fast enough to use the windows version of internet explorer without any problem at all (although I prefer Safari). I am running it on a 17" 1ghz flat panel iMac with 512 MB of ram, and 160 MB of ram dedicated to virtual PC. Once again, despite the bad things you might hear about the XP version of virtual PC, this one is a winner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works very well, December 5, 2003

This review is from: Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 6.1 with Windows 2000 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I had the opportunity to try out Virtual PC with XP pro and this product, VPC+Win 2000 pro. The XP worked, but had a sort of stuttering mouse movement and a sluggishness to it. Win 2000 works much much better. I am able to run a windows only CAD program without any problems, at a very usable speed. The folder sharing and drag & drop files feature works flawlessly. Selected Mac OS folders show up as a separate hard drive in Windows environment, which makes it easy to keep multiple project files well organised across environments. My old 3 button USB mouse worked by simply plugging it in. I use a Powerbook G4, 1.25GHz, 512Mb RAM (160Mb for Win2000).

I have used Virutal PC with Windows 95 and that worked fine. But Not the one for windows XP (Virutal PC 6.0 at the time) But when I ordered Verson 6.1 with windows 2000 it worked well so far and it seems still to be working fine With OS X 10.3
