I haven't used SoftWindows, but I did just recently buy Virtual PC and I am
pretty pleased with it so far. I do have a G3. Well, not exactly. What I
have is a UMAX S900 which I upgraded to a 266 MGhz G# card with 1 mb
backside cache. Virtual PC running on that is fairly fast (I don't play
games much so I can't vouch for that.)
One of the things I really like about VPC is its drag'n drop capability.
You can drag files from one OS window to another. I have already downloaded
PC programs that I found while surfing around on the Mac OS. I just start
up VPC, drag the .exe file onto the Windows window, click it and it goes
through the install process.
I do now have IE for windows, IE for Mac, Opera, NS for Mac and so can test
on a variety of browsers and platforms. Very cool!
