Microsoft did indeed announce at MacWorld in January that they were working on (and going to release) VPC for MacIntel. They said that they didn't have a timeline yet, but that it was in the works.

Or no emulation at all. Hopefully they'll port VMWare to Mac Intel, and we can run Windows at near-native speeds.

Well I meant that the current OS X version of VirtualPC is not supported. Microsoft has VirtualPC for Windows which I have used in the past and allows you to run multiple operating systems including other versions of Microsoft Windows.

I expect at some point that Microsoft VirtualPC will be ported to Intel Macs and run near-native speeds. If VMWare gets ported first and is stable then that could only be good for Apple and likely sell a lot more to current fence-sitters.

I am one of those fence-sitters, and have some type of virtual Windows OS as a requirement before I get a new Mac._______________________________________________
