OS: Mac OS X 10.4.1
Apple PowerBook G4 1.67GHz, 1.5GB ram

When I Start Windows 2000 or Windows XP in Virtual PC 6.1.1, this error
message displays:

  Virtual Switch networking could not be restarted

   Permissions for the support files were set correctly,
   but Virtual Switch failed to load.  Please report this
   problem to Microsoft (Code: A1004).  Virtual PC will
   run without Virtual Switch networking.

                                              [ OK ]

Will Microsoft be updating Virtual PC 6.1.1 to correct the Virtual
Switch error?

I see that Microsoft released Virtual PC 7 update, but not for Virtual PC 6.

The fix for this is VPC 7.0.2.   You'll have to upgrade if you want it
fixed.

Typical Microsoft if that is true.

However, I hope Microsoft does release a VPC 6 update.  I noticed there
are too many VPC 7 users complaining about speed/performance.

[break me off a piece of that...]

Seriously, all development efforts are on VPC 7.  I severely doubt
you'll see any updates for VPC 6.  If you want the fix, upgrade to VPC 7.

Why?  Microsoft discontinued VPC6 long before Tiger was released.  Is
Apple still updating OS 9?

It doesn't matter what version of VPC it is, there are always those
that complain about its speed/performance.  There were just as many
complaints with VPC speed before Microsoft purchased it from
Connectix.
