This company has been developing a Windows on Linux solution for many years now. I've used it and it works great. About a year ago I wrote them and urged them to look into the Mac market, but I'm sure Connectix helped to disauade the from such a move.

If you want to see an alternative to Microsoft, take 5 minutes to go to their site and write them. It can't hurt!

What I think you meant to say is "Windows running in a virtual x86 machine on x86 hardware is a substantially different beast than Window running in an emulated virtual x86 machine running on PowerPC hardware." Of course that's just me, I could be wrong
"Think Different. Like The Rest Of Us."
