As a result, though Virtual PC comes with Windows 3.1 or Windows 95, according to Connectix, you can install any Intel-based operating system, such as Windows NT, OS/2, or the Rhapsody preview for Intel boxes. Virtual PC uses your Mac’s PowerPC processor to emulate the behavior of an Intel Pentium MMX chip and its several secondary support chips, creating a "virtual machine" capable of running software that would never otherwise work on a PowerPC processor. It’s much more like a fantasy than a nightmare for those of us who must run Windows software occasionally but don’t want the extra equipment or expense. It’s a truly weird experience to watch Virtual PC running Windows 95 running the Dial-Up Connectivity tool using a Macintosh modem to do a PPP connection.

With Virtual PC installed, I can carry around both Mac OS 8 and Windows 95 with CD-ROM and floppy access for both, plus dial-up and Ethernet connectivity. For some people, this is a horrible nightmare for others, an inevitability and for still others, the business reality of using a Macintosh in organizations which rely on software that runs only on Intel-based computers.Ĭonsider this: I have a PowerBook 3400c/200. Within a minute of double-clicking its icon, you have a Windows 95 startup screen staring you in the face. Running Connectix’s new Virtual PC is a little eerie.
