there seems to be another alternative to look at especially the price:
http://www.iemulator.com/
an email from iemulator:
No partitioning is necessary: iEmulator creates a single file which
represents a "hard disk" to the emulated PC. As such, iEmulator
takes about 25MB in disk space and a decent size for XP would be 2 to
4 GB, depending on how much and what software you'd wish to run.
Again, though, no partitioning is required: a file will be created
when you instruct iEmulator that you wish to use a 2GB, 3GB, 4GB or
however many GB emulated hard disk with your emulated PC.
And yes, you can use your emulated PC(s) and OS X simultaneously; no
rebooting is necessary.
Thanks,
Richard
but you need original win xp disks to install xp, it only represents dos

Hello.
I am trying to avoid the cost and running windows and virus
software to protect the windows system.
If CrossOver works then I hope that is the solution.
I will try a demo of CrossOver and a demo of the applications as
suggested by David

CrossOver Mac is more of a hit and miss affair. Some windows
applications run flawlessly, some will not work at all. I am
basing this opinion on the fact that I've used wine on linux
(CrossOver Mac uses wine as it's backend) and the fact that I've
successfully run steam (http://www.steampowered.com) on my MacBook
with CrossOver.
I would suggest you download the trail version of CrossOver and
see if it is capable of running the application you require before
you consider purchasing it. Or you can go with Phil's suggestion
and run Parallels, which more than likely be able to run all of
your applications.

Is CrossOver Mac good enough to run Windows applications.
I would like to use some stockmarket and accounting applications
without running a windows system.
If the applications are upgraded to Vista do they still work.
I have an Intel iMac

Any info from users would be appreciated.
