That is, of course, only if Microsoft continues to keep VPC as a emulator and doesn't morph it into something closer to say WINE. Why do I need to emulate the whole PC when all that users may need is a Windows API and something to translate the code???
I have no info that this is what they are going to do, but it remains a possibility if they wanted to push non-Windows OS's off of the platform.
Had they wanted to do that, they would have simply upgraded their *existing* product SoftWindows (which Insignia developed) instead of buying Virtual PC. (Or simply ripped off WINE)
The two programs you're discussing are completely different: it would be on the order of buying Photoshop from Adobe, so they could come up with a competitior for iTunes Windows...
