Hands-On Report--Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac Version 7.0.2 Update

2004–09June 29, 2005Bill FoxReviews
It is available for download from this Microsoft Web page. According to Microsoft,

This update is recommended for all users who are using Virtual PC for Mac Version 7.0 or 7.0.1. This update improves overall stability of Virtual PC and allows Virtual PC to run on Mac OS X Version 10.4.1.

We had no problems running VPC v7.0.1 with Mac OS X 10.4.1 on our PowerBook G4. On our Power Mac G5, however, launching VPC v7.0.1 launched the VPC installer which required a restart. Launching VPC 7.0.1 again just brought up the installer again in an endless cycle. After installing the VPC 7.0.2 Update, VPC again runs fine on our Power Mac G5. We notice no difference on our PowerBook G4. [Bill Fox]
