what is virtual pc

"T3h Sp311x0rz..."

It is software that emulates a PC computer on a Mac, so that Macs can run PC OSs and programs. I think Microsoft sued connectix for it, and connectix has had it for GOD KNOWS HOW LONG.

I hated that program! It was an unstable piece of cr@p and it was more stable when Connectix was making it! (Still sukkz though)

Why does this Not Surpise Me.....

It's a computer emulation program(as ATI said) there is a Mac version but it was(I believe) originaly developed so PC users could emulate a virtual PC on their PC to run x86 OS's.

What can you do with just the windows version, just emulate Windows 98 while running xp?

 

[WorldIndustries]

Emulate any PC-based OS, I guess?

 

[The General]

Emulate any x86 OS. SkyOS, linux, bsd, osx86, windows, whatever.

 

[Jorsoft]

Can you emulate Mac OS using the Windows version?

"I g2g2 PC..."

...There aint no windows version. It would be called VirtualMAC, but Mac emulators do exist, and they are all open-source and require a Mac-Rom file.

You actualy need a Mac to get a Mac rom file. I dont have the emulator links on me right now... maybe somebody else has em.
