VMware Fusion

I'm working on installing it this weekend, on VMWare, dunno how much this will effect speed, but I guess I will find out :)

And just because there's no CPU emulation doesn't mean everything will work the way it should. VMWare is far from perfect. ...

speed virtual machines, though my guess is that we'll see VMWare make an OS X port before we ever see MS get around to building Virtual PC for MacIntel! ...

I try not to think about gamers at all. I don't see why VPC get's such bad comments, I actually think it's not too bad, I run that sorry excuse of XP in it with no problems, getting Linux to install in it is slow as hell and Solaris.. well, I had to give up, which I was not too happy about. But for XP and IE and those who have a dependancy on a "critical" Windows app, I...

In terms of buying the last ever PPC mac, I don't think I would do that, because I can envision a lot of things that will eventually be intel only (WINE, VPC,VMware type applications) that would not run on a PPC. I bought a 68040 (without an FPU!) when the first generation PPCs came out, and man did I feel the pain! FAT binaries did exist but some programs were PPC only. By...

Personally I am ready to kiss the PPC goodbye - just like I kissed my 68040 goodbye. My mac experience, over the years, has gotten better. I started using a mac with the Mac (68000). For a little while I backsteped to an Apple IIGs (running a MOS6502), then to Performa 635CD --> PowerMac G3 B&W --> PowerBook TiG4. The OS has gotten better, the hardware has gotten better. I...

type OSes on my old Linux boxes, I found VMware to be a godsend. ...

Also, since then, VMware has come, too. ...

finally! we agree on something! :D i am designer, and i've loved design since i was a nipper. Jonathan Ive is one of my heros. i read about him after he did all the stuff straying from beige boxes, and just saw a shining light. the G5 is a bloody masterpiece of design, perfect in every way (well, nearly. needs 2 more usb2... :P), as is the g5 imac, and the mac mini, and his...

Now, THAT is what I want! BTW, don't put too much faith in VMs for games, I used VMware on Linux for years, games were a no-go.
