I'm looking for resources for people using Windows NT under Connectix
Virtual PC to do serious work. Connectix is so stuck on using VPC to
play PC games that they overlook it's ability to use it as an
alternative to shelling out for a WinTel computer just to run a couple
of applications that haven't been upgraded to run on the Macintosh.

I've been thinking about starting a mail list/web page but wondered if
someone already has.

I'd also like to hear from people who are using software PC emulators
for more than just game play. For me, I use NT 4.0 under VPC 2.1 to
run a Computer Associates Ingres relational database for developing
applications. I use software emulation instead of a hardware card
because it all has to run on a laptop so I got a new G3 300MHz. It
works well but there's no support for shared Mac folders or
drag-and-drop between the environments like there is for Win98.

I'm hoping that finding other business users might spark some
self-support for the group and get some recognition from Connectix.
