Claire,
I'm afraid I have to agree with Tim when it comes to VPC. In most
cases, VPC is too slow.
I'll third this motion. I've been installing Win XP Pro on my Mac
(800 Mhz G4) *all day long*, and I'm only about mostly done with the
Service Pack 2, much less get the VPC attached to the network and
updated further. Plus <bleeping> VPC is sucking every processor cycle
it can get it's greedy little hands on.
Slowly but surly many developers are FINALLY getting the clue that
the Mac is overall a virus free environment.
Yes, I'd agree with you that many developers are particularly surly. :-P
Interesting that you bring up law as a field; Apple just posted a
success story of a company that makes testing software for law
schools called "Electronic Blue Book", they ported a VBasic Windows
app to the Mac in 12 days via RealBasic, from not owning a Mac to
having an alpha version running with all features:

We need to send this link to all of those surly developers...I'd
wager that nearly every one of those Real Estate apps are VB
programs...VB is a large player in the vertical market realm....
They may even like it, RealBasic lets them write programs for
Windows, Macs and Linux simultaneously...
