"Microsoft on Wednesday announced that it had acquired Connectix's Virtual PC products, including Virtual PC for Mac, Virtual PC for Windows and Virtual Server. Microsoft also hired many of the Connectix employees that worked on the products to continue development.

"What this means for Mac users is that Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit (MacBU) will be responsible for supporting and shipping all current versions of Virtual PC and development for all future versions of the product," Tim McDonough, director of marketing and business development for the Macintosh Business Unit, told MacCentral." ...

On the one hand I'm sure M$ could get VPC to work even better than it does given their inside access to M$ source code. OTOH Connectix had created a virtual machine that could run any M$ OS, and x86 Linux, and OS/2 on a Mac straight from the standard install disks.

Interesting.

Putting an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of keyboards
will _not_ result in the greatest work of all time. Just look at Windows.
