It's still a pretty tough order. VirtualPC has been out of

since the Tiger era (it is technically not fully compatible with
Leopard).
It also does not work with G5's.
VPC 7 does (I have it on this quad). It runs XP acceptably, but is
better in
Win2K and Win98. I think that's pretty telling right there.
I realize that Bruce has been making the above assertion, "Virtual PC
does not work with G5's," for years on this list. Nevertheless,
Virtual PC Version 7, with Windows XP Pro, that came with Microsoft
Office 2004 Professional for Mac, worked on my iMac G5 running Leopard
(10.5), although sluggishly. It ran better from an external hard
drive running Tiger (10.4). Some USB devices did not work right, but
that was a known problem with several versions of Virtual PC.
