    I think a lot has changed since the old MAC version Compare the feature list of the 2 programs and I'm sure you'll agree that the Connectix solution offers more flexibility.

    Probably the only feature that VMWare has that VirtualPC doesn't, is the ability so create a sort of 'restore point' to which you can ALWAYS revert if your OS goes haywire...
