From Mike Breeden from XLR8YourMac: "Microsoft's Virtual PC Page and FAQ on Future Support - Earlier this month I linked to a news item that Microsoft was buying Connectix (MS later posted this press release: <http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2003/Feb03/02-19PartitionPR.asp>) which has caused some concern about the future of VirtualPC. Today while checking for an older Office98 update on the "other products" Mac section I saw this Microsoft page for Virtual PC: <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/virtualpc/default.asp> which has a short FAQ that indicates they are going to continue to offer VPC and will take over sales and support for it later this year:
" Virtual PC for Mac. Now from Microsoft. We are excited to announce that Connectix Virtual PC(tm) for Mac is the most recent addition to the line-up of great products we make for the Macintosh computer.... Top 5 Questions:.... Will Virtual PC continue to be developed in the Macintosh Business Unit at Microsoft? Yes. Microsoft is excited to add this product to the mix of its award-winning Mac BU products. Do I call Connectix or Microsoft for product support issues? Connectix will continue to support and sell the Virtual PC products until approximately August 2003, and then Microsoft will take on these functions. " Of course anything could change in the future but since VPC usually means the sale of a copy of Windows also, I had guessed they would keep offering it." * * -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
