Anyone got this? I need it to run a PC app on a Mac I've got here at work. If there's a chance somebody has something that would do the job and could stick it somewhere that I could download, that would be fab.

Get a copy of the part of the Windows source that's been leaked, that ought to get you started

Don't have one to hand but there are two other pieces of software I would recommend to help you in your search:

poisoned

limewire

You'd want a copy of Virtual PC for the mac. If the Mac in question is a G5, then forget it, VPC won't run on G5's

Out of curiosity, what's the app? The Mac collective may be able to find you an OS X version.

marko,

its virtual pc 6 (funnily enough) and done by microsoft, but bizarrely you cant even get hold of a trial version of it, as stated it wont run on G5 (yet) so how it performs in the real world is unknown, I asked on here before and non-one uses it

I use it quite a bit on my 1GHz iMac, it's not bad at all.

It's a G4 Mac, so probably not a problem. Anyone got a URL to download the virtual PC from MS?

Oh, and it's a proprietrary retail EPOS app, so there won't be a Mac version of it.

Marko,

heres the home page for it http://www.microsoft.com/mac/product...?pid=virtualpc but like I said no trial for download. Steven what do you run under emulation? My experience of running linux on virtual pc (for pc!) is that its just not fast enough (well not for software development anyway)

cheers

I use the SQL Server Enterprise Manager under Win2k on VPC6, it's not the fastest thing in the world but is more than usable.

Depending on what you're developing in you could do it directly on your Mac, presuming OS X
