Re: One nail to go...
Not really bad news in my opinion! These days you can pick up good second hand PC for a few hundred dollars and you will get far better performance than using emulation on a Mac. Networking a PC to a Mac is is easy to do with Mac OS X, you can even share your Mac internet connection with the PC without too much trouble and access those sites which I hear Mac people are having problems with. Also has an additional benefit, you can use the PC as a backup destination for for your Mac. In this changing world of computers I do believe you will see the end of Windows emulation before too long but it is not really a concern anymore for Mac users.

One nail to go...
Bad news from MacCentral this morning. http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/2003/08/27/realpc/ A few months ago, FWB announced a MacOS X version of RealPC would be forthcoming. This now appears to have been vaporware. Check out the above link for the full story. Even worse, Micro$oft have announced that the current version of VPC will not run on the G5 at all. The code in the G4 upon which certain routines rely is not there in the G5, so those areas of VPC need to be re-written. I'm waiting for the day when they announce that it's no longer in their interests to do so...
