One Mac OS X box with Connectix Virtual PC can give you:
OS X
OS 9.2.2
Win 95,98,ME,2000, and I think XP, if you are brave. I have 95 98SE, and 2000 on mine and all run well.
I've found the virtual machines to be somewhat sluggish, but capable and comparable to owning hardware for testing purposes.
That being said - we keep a few old macs around for other OS - partitioned to boot into various flavors of OS 8.
Plus its really cool to give a demo to anti-mac people of your software and to be able to push a button to show them the windows side of things...

My testing will always be on that one specifically. Unless you have 5 or 10 computers, you CANNOT test on all OS's. A Window's developer would need at least 4 to test on the various flavours of Windows. Minimum.Or one copy of Connectix's Virtual PC. :-) -Glen Yates --__--__-- _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard End of metacard Digest
