I'd be really suprised if they worked with Virtual PC, you have to remember OSX
sits between VPC and the hardware.
So, the question is if any one would recommend Virtual PC for such tasks
See above.
and if they've had any experience of using Virtual PC to then run the bits of
software I've mentioned?
VPC is slow compared to an actual PC.
£390+ price tag for Office Professional could not be better spent on a cheap as chips PC laptop
That sounds like a good idea. :)
Especially if you need to move around, a desktop could be got even cheaper of
course. That's what I'd do, mind you, I'd probably be thinking of running Linux
on it too...
With Apple going x86 in the next year it's also hard to see what the future for
VPC might be, it's perhaps not a good software investment at this point.
