Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Even though you’re loyal to your Mac, there are times when you may need to cross that bridge to the PC world. With the help of Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac Version 7, you can access PC-only software, files, networks, and devices faster and more intuitively with your Mac.

Virtual PC for Mac Version 7 for Windows 2000 is the edition to use if you need to run business applications or access a corporate network that is on Windows 2000.

New Features:

• Zero Configuration Printing
  For Panther users (Mac OS X version 10.3), Virtual PC 7 eliminates the need to download special printer drivers. Simply click "print" and tap into the same printing functionality and drivers used by your Mac OS.
• Better Graphics Handling
  Virtual PC 7 delivers faster, cleaner graphics with a screen that redraws more quickly and graphics that are more responsive.
• Fast Save
  Now you can shut down your virtual PC in one easy step and easily relaunch right where you left off. Simply stated, Virtual PC 7 puts the application to sleep so you can easily get back to your Mac.
• Expanded Preferences
  Sounds, toolbars, shortcuts, memory, and even dock inclusion are found in the new Virtual PC 7 preferences and settings, giving you exceptional control over your Virtual PC experience.

Additional Features:

• G5 Support
  Virtual PC 7 was significantly rewritten to take advantage of the powerful Mac G5 processors and Mac OS X version 10.3 (Panther).
• Improved User Experience
  An all-new setup assistant guides you through a simple, intuitive installation process. The step-by-step Getting Started Guide provides user-friendly help, and once you are up and running you can take advantage of the easier printing and expanded preference options in Virtual PC 7.
• Cut and Paste Between Platforms
  Virtual PC 7 and your Mac share the same clipboard, making it easy to copy and paste between programs no matter which platform--Windows or Mac--you are using.
• Share Folders and Removable Media
  Share folders and other media between platforms. Simply save files in a folder on your Mac and retrieve them from within Windows.
• Use Both Mac and PC Peripherals
  Use a variety of PC and Mac peripherals including printers, external drives, and more, even if they were designed for use exclusively with a PC.

3.0 out of 5 stars Virtual PC won't run Quicken 2007 (Premier Edition), September 13, 2007

This review is from: Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 7.0 with Windows 2000 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I'm a long-time Quicken user and need to manage my personal finances and investments. Quicken Mac version is not very good, and Quicken announced it is abandoning the Mac versions. I bought Virtual PC in hopes I could run Quicken for Windows; however Quicken would not install. Neither Quicken (Intuit) or Microsoft would assist me without a big fee. So, I have no overall view of Virtual PC, but be sure it's going to run the programs you want to run before you purchase it.
