i need a FREE windows emulator that is easy to set up. I DO NOT need something like virtual pc. i already have windows 98 all i need is something that will let me run it on my ibook. all it needs to be as a window that will run .exe files not even the windows os all i need to do is run a few apps. if i needs to run windows i hav a disk but all i really need is something that will run .exe files on my ibook. any help / ideas will be greatly appreaciated

There aren't any free emulators...You can get VPC without any OS and use your own windows 98

Any emulator will be bad for running games and VPC is the best emulator (doesn't say much)

Emulators don't support 3D graphics cards yet so they are useless for games

Click to expand...

Any secondary OS no matter whether its an emulator or VPC is going to run games very fast. Nor for that matter be fast at all.
