Well, now that we know RealPC doesn't exist and VirtualPC is fully G5 incompatible, I'm obviously searching high and low for alternatives.

One thing I've come across is this WinTel/Bochs thing. I don't know much more about it than it exists.

Anybody out there have experience with this PC emulator, and would you care to share your impressions of it? Is it worth bothering with?

Very, very, very slow. It's like an 286 at 16 MHz. You would wait all day for Windows to boot.

I think MS will update VPC for the G5.
1. They just bought it. If they don't, it was a waste of money.
2. They sell XP licences with it.
