Slow? Check. Unstable? Check. Makes your soul feel all dirty? Check. But occasionally, unavoidably you just need to use it.
Terribly slow, but it'll have to do until I upgrade to an intel machine and get parallels
VirtualPC could use emulator and emulation tags.
Put me down for this. But I use Version 6 - the last non-Microsoft version. Faster than 7. Virtual Switch is broken, but I never use it.
Parallels only runs on Intel hardware, leaving out the majority of Mac users who may still need this. Once the switch to intel is complete, Parallels looks to be the natural choice, but until then, VPC is the best option.
I find that the Microsoft Virtual PC has a severe limitation in the amount of memory you can allocate to a virtual machine. Does it work? Yes. Will it let you have a machine with beefy memory if you got a lot of RAM in your box? No.
I've dumped VirtualPC and use Parallels instead.
