We have used Virtual PC 1 on a 8200/120 mac, to check powerpoint
presentations built on a Mac are OK for PC's. And to check websites. Also
useful for the odd PC file the MAC can't open it increases our chances.
Its OK for that sort of thing on our hardware, launch it and put the kettle
on by the time the coffee's made it working.
Interestingly i don't think it displays the graphics as well as a Good PC
or as well as the same hard ware doing the MAC
Its Slow but it does the job
