[QUOTE="bishopazrael, post: 248931, member: 18964"] Virtual PC is crap that was discontinued from MS? J/K Its late so its hard to explain. Paralles isnt really EMULATION... its... a pathway to the intel chipset i think is a good way to explain it. It opens a way for you while in OS X to have XP running. For most people who use it its just fine. Like I said it runs about 98% of the normal speed of a PC. You can't do gaming on it, but you can do websurfing and stuff like that on it. It works extremely well. The main difference is that Virtual PC is not a universal binary, theres no need for it because VPC emulates the actual CPU. Parallels doesnt. And VPC is slower than ..... you get the idea. (if I say it Schweb will be down here with his big stick to beat me ugly) :) [/QUOTE]
