VPC for Windows free: precursor of things to come?

Posted by Derik DeLong | Friday, July 14, 2006 9:34 AM PT

Virtual PC 2004 Parallels Desktop may be a scene stealer right now, but Virtual PC is still a good product (for PowerPC owners at the very least). Microsoft has decided to make the Windows version of the software free. But not the Mac version.

It’s a little perplexing to me because most of its users would be buying copies of Windows, which isn’t a given for the Windows version. However, the strategy is pretty apparent in what’s suggested in the comments.

So you are trying to do to VMWare what you did to Netscape?

Sounds about right.

Hopefully we might get another lawsuit on our hands.
