Oh yes there will be. Buy a low end PC... maybe even a used one and it will run rings around Virtual PC and cost very little if any more. I have Virtual PC but constructed a simple XP box just for running Panotools and other utilities that are better on Windows. I have PTMac as well but strongly prefer the interface on PTAssembler (PTGui is very similar). You won't regret adding a simple Windows box to your arsenal of tools. You get the best of both platform worlds. If you run XP Pro on the Windows box then with a free download of the OS-X remote desktop client, you can completely control your Windows box from the networked Mac desktop. Much like Virtual PC, you have a window in which Windows XP is running. But since you're using the computing power of the real Windows box, it runs full speed... not emulated. You can copy and paste between platforms, share drives and so forth. You don't even need a keyboard and monitor on the Windows box if you don't want. Just do it all from the Mac desktop. Works like a charm.
