Connectix's Virtual PC

1997–98July 29, 1997Macs Only!Software
I used (well, experimented with) Connectix's Virtual PC (Windows 95 edition) on my 8500/120 with Mac OS 8 because several applications that I need to use are Wintel-only, like Microsoft Access. I am truely impressed! It installed and hooked up with the intranet flawlessly. I pick up some site-licensed software (e.g. MS PowerPoint and WordPerfect 5.1) off the intranet and installed and ran them without a hitch. The speed is marginally acceptable and no crashes occurred. If I can use what I need to without a PC, I'm going to upgrade to at least a 200 MHz 604e card and a 1 MB L2 cache.
