Virtual PC for OS X

alternateorg on February 23, 2001

I noticed this story at MacNN.com about the new version of Virtual PC shipping soon after the launch of MacOS X. This is wonderful news… think about it… now I can run;


UNIX apps (apache, samba, emacs, etc)

LINUX apps (ports of X window environments KDE and GNOME are sure to follow)
Classic MacOS Apps (PhotoShop, GoLive, etc)
Carbon Apps (iTunes, all new apps, etc)
Cocoa/NeXT/OpenStep Apps (OmniWeb, Mail, WebObjects, Project Builder, etc.)
Win32 Apps through Virtual PC

and theoretically you could run BeOS Apps as well through Virtual PC.


….drool…. and all of this on a Ti PowerBook G4 on Airport sitting in the park across the street from home working remotely… ahhh.. it will happen soon.
