Acquisition

For the most part, I agree. The point of VPC is to emulate Intel-based hardware on which Windows is the most likely OS. The point is not to run Windows, exclusively. Such a version of VPC would not be useful to a significant fraction of the VPC customer base.

Ahhh...the trials and travails of VPC for the Mac. I know that I'm probably in the minority of Mac users who feels that Microsoft's acquisition of VPC as a good thing for our platform. As many have mentioned, Microsoft makes a vast majority of its sales from software. ...

Sure, send some to me in a thermos via UPS Ground. G, are you lacking action in your life, or something?
