Has anyone tried this software?
Has anyone tried this software from openosx.com? I was wondering if it's fast or faster than VPC?

This is just some company putting a pretty gui around Bochs which is a freeware x86 emulator, see http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...rce/bochs.html for more information and a OS X download of it. Everyone who has used Bochs that I know of complained that it is dog slow (makes VPC look like it's the fastest emulator on the planet) but it does work. A review comparing VPC, Bochs, and VMware can be found at http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1054

i've openosx. i can't get past the installation of win98 so far. ridiculously slow. although I do commend their efforts to package the installation for OSX with a tutorial, $30 is not worth it.

The site looks crappy. I guess the product resembles it.
