I had my original computer set up that way, with OS 7.0 and OS 6.0 or

Well, actually I was talking about VPC for windows, since there is no
processor emulation, there is very little speed hit. VPC for the mac is
unacceptably slow for me.

I don't think this is a black and white issue, like "If you can't test I'd test under OS 9.2.2, OS X, and Windows 98.
I think you can get away with OS 9, OS X, and Win 98 if you want to develop for Mac and Windows.

Terrabytes have been consumed by discussions among VB developers about how

Meanwhile with MC we c
One thing to keep in mind is the old permutation problem with drivers and

will be the same hardware/driver permutations. Ive been bitten in the ass

If your Mac is fast enough, you can maybe get away with VPC.
Mine isn't... :)
Seemed fast as all getout when I got it. Still fast to me, but by
today's standards, probably not. I'm at 350 mhz on a G-3.

You can, Shari, although the way I've done it in the past is to partition a
larger drive into multiple partitions and then install a different OS on
each partition. Then use the Startup Disk control panel to pick which
partition to start from.

Shari,
You need to make a distinction between "computers" and "operating
systems". You can have one computer that runs many flavors of
Windows through different means. For example, Windows has dual-boot
option, enabling installing of a variety of OSs on a single drive,
and SELECTION of which O

A word of advice: If you plan to release software for various platforms, and
provide features and support for those platforms, you'd better plan on
owning those platforms.

been this way. Things change not only from platform t
