There aren't any apps that require video acceleration in the field of 
study. We're not talking 3D modelling or Game development here.
VPC emulates "onboard shared" video common in Windows PCs and is exactly 
the kind of video anyone developing for the web should be using, she can 
go out and buy a new budget P4 with exactly this kind of video support 
today.

Hardware dongles (anti-piracy systems) are used on Windows programs that 
for the most part run on Macintosh (Quark, some kilobuck audio apps) and 
VPC provides full support for Windows USB dongles, which are supported by 
any recent versions of dongled Win SW.
