VirtualPC does NOT run on the new Intel Macs at all. You'll have to wait for Microsoft to completely re-write the entire application, so it's likely to be a year or more before it's released. There are other people also working on getting Windows running on Intel Macs (either via "emulation" or simply booting Windows), but nodoby has it working fully yet, and again it's likely to be quite a while before they do. Basically if you need Windows, either stick with a PowerPC Mac with VirtualPC or buy a Windows computer. When buying a new computer you should check everything you need will work BEFORE buying it, and that's especially true when it's a completely new design like the Intel Macs.

And you believe every article posted on the Internet? > somewhere out there on the net there is an article - cant remeber where > I read it but you can install a virtual machine on a powerbook and then > transfer it to an Intel based Mac - never tried this as I wont buy one > until virtual PC or some other mechanism for running windows is > available. Extremely unlikely - and April Fools Day is still just under two weeks away. VirtualPC is very complicated and relies heavily on the chip, that's why it had to be rewritten for the G5 and now has to be rewritten again for the Intel Macs.
