Is it just my imagination?  Is VPC 7 faster with the MacOSX 10.3.8

Hello all...
I would simply like to ask whether it is possible (through a hack or some other
trick) or if not, an explanation as to why Virtual PC 7.0.1 (and
others) limits the code

I've been running VPC 5 and 6 with Windows 98. That was convenient as
there was an install disk as part of the system. Then I needed to

I've installed VPC 7 on my G5 desktop, and I'm reasonably happy. I'd
also like to install it on my G4 laptop. Does the EULA allow a second

I have 2 cd disk images on my mac desk top. When I try to capture a cd and
navigate to the desktop one of them is bold and I can capture it, the other

Is it something to do with how I create the disk ...

So, I installed ActiveSync (got past the 92% "hang").  I get to the
screen that tells me to plug in my PDA.  I drop it in the cradle, check
it in Virtual PC's USB panel and then... nothing.  Windows doesn't see
the PDA, at all.  Any ideas?

I just got started using VPC 7.0 on a Powerbook G4. I would like to transfer
my old PC to a VPC image, and get rid of it altogether. But I would rather
not go through the arduous process of copying all of the user files,
re-installing all of the applications etc.

Dear Users,
Would Virtual PC 7 be able to host guest operating systems including
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, or Windows 2003 Small Business
Server? If so, are there any major issues?

I am having to run an application online that works only with Internet
Explorer version 6.  Since the Mac only runs version 5.2 of the
Explorer, does anyone know if the Virtual PC 7.x will run Explorer 6 on
an iMac G5?
