WOW! Prohpesies to the people, brother! :-) My take on this event is that it will result in a better Virtual PC. Remember that MS sells software; not hardware, and every version of VPC needs a purchased copy of Windows to run on it. Also, MS supporting Apple in this way shows how lovely they are about anti-competition (right!). But... To be fair, MS's mac division has dratsically improved thir software over the past five years. The recent release of Microsft Remote Desktop manager for mac OS X is also a great advancement for macs in heterogenious OS network environments. And just last month, they annoucened a planned full compatibility for Macs on Exchange Server networks. I was surprised to read that microsoft's own studies showed that over 60% of poeople using Office for the Mac use it in a mixed OS environment (Macs and Windows, together). -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
