Since Virtual PC is incompatible with a G5, I need to know of alternative program to use. This is becoming rather urgent as if I cannot get a Windows OS emulation app to work on the G5, then I fear we will have to purchase PCs instead of Macs at work.
Can anyone help?

Rumor has it that there will be a compatible version of VPC at MWSF in a few days.
If not, you could use Bochs, but it's slooowww.

I got RealPC with windows 98, on a G4 running in classic and it runs pretty good, so I would think on a G5 it would be better.

I actually own RealPC (won it at the booth at MWSF in 1996), but I couldn't get it to install on the G5. It complained about requiring 8MB of RAM or some nonsense.

"McDonough would not go into much detail on the next version of Virtual PC for Mac, but did say that version 7.0 would be available in the first half of this calendar year. The new version will include enhancements over the current version 6.1, including performance and usability improvements, as well as compatibility with the Macintosh G5. No pricing information was available."
