A free VirtualPC

Q I’ve been getting along without a PC or even Virtual PC for a number of years now. I know I’m lucky that way, but not everyone is. The situation is worse for Intel Mac owners as Microsoft’s Virtual PC doesn’t work on them.

That’s why the Q project is so compelling. Not only is it free, but current unstable builds are Universal Binaries, letting users run Windows on the Macintels in some form. I personally don’t have a Windows license to try it out and check the speed. Anyone here used it?

I use Windows 2000 through Q on my 1.67 GHz PowerBook G4. It runs very slowly; I recommend a faster chip.
