I need to find a copy of Virtual PC 3.0, and it seems to be impossible, I can't even find an illegal copy to download.

What im trying to do is play HL on my mac. VPC supported Glide on the Voodoo cards for mac. I found a Glide to OpenGL wrapper for OS 9, so I really want to see if I can get VPC to use that so it can be run on a more modern mac instead of an old G3 or G4 with a real voodoo. This should be quite interesting, as I have seen no one else try this yet.

How can I go about getting a copy of VPC 3, does anyone have it that maybe they would like to share or sell or something? It's pretty lame that MS has totally gotten rid of these products, they should have at least kept supporting them or something or even made them free.

I looked at ebay, and while there are quite a few there, I'm really not a big fan of ebay, and I dont want to wait a week to get this. Plus most of them on there are way overpriced. I'm not paying like $20 for something thats like 5 years old and probably wont work.

So you basically want VPC 3.0 for free from somewhere or you don't care to have (buy) it, correct?
