VirtualPC was a software program developed by Connectix at least 10 years ago that originally allowed Mac users to run PC applications. It ran okay, but was a little on the slow side because of it's high overhead for machine resources. I can only assume that the newer versions are a bit faster, but still require a lot of overhead.

I don't get excited about software a lot, but VMWare makes me feel
modestly tingly. Microsoft's version of VMware is called VirtualPC. I
haven't used it so I don't know how it compares.
