Does Virtual PC really do a good enough job? Or do I need to requisition a cheap Dell running windows 2000. The "lo-end" Windows user experience would be the target.
For checking it out, Virtual PC is good. It can be slow on Mac. The plus of slow is that it exposes some silly gui and graphics things you might be doing. The minus of slow is that it may not be sufficient to get the feel of a user's interaction.
A used computer with an OS can be cheap. The greater cost might finding a place to set it up. And lugging in a monitor.
If you need to test on lots of Windows platforms, I'd consider a good PC with XP Pro and then Virtual PC for Windows with several operating systems. If this qualifies (and I think it would), you might get most or all the software you need with the right msdn level.
