I have a 20" G5 iMac running Mac OS 10.3.9 with VPC (with the
Home XP OS). I have been quite happy for a while now and VPC
seems to have worked well enough for the one program I need it
for (Personal Ancestral File - PAF).

I have been thinking of upgrading to Mac OS 10.4.8 but I'm
concerned about losing the (already marginal) VPC capabilities.
Has there been any significant issues with VPC and Tiger that
might make me want to stay with 10.3.9?

I had no problem with VPC 7.0.2 on my iBook G4 when upgrading.

Thanks for the replys. Somewhere I thought that I had read of
some problems but I must have been mistaken.

(Of course, it may have been that I just heard of VPC problems in
general, of which there does seem to be a bunch :-)
