I'm looking to use Virtual PC (w/Windows XP) on a MacG5.
Is this any good?? Stable??

Want to install Command WS 4.1...it started out with Java issues on install. Installed Java...Command WS made it through 95% install...then said some crap about CommonUtl Folder not found. Googled it & it seems like I need a file from the Orginal CD...Java Related. Dont have the Orginal CD...just copied files. I have an email out to our Service Tech...I'll see. Just thought I'd post this in the meantime...I always get good tips and feedback from this forum. Tks...

Command WS runs just fine! But For the Mac it's 1.4x I think.
There is nothing on the cd you need. The installer is self contain..

What printers are you trying to use this with?

Virtual PC sucks and will run like crap

Virtual PC is a joke. Biggest mistake I ever made was buying it. I have a dual 1.8 G5 with 2GB ram and the thing still runs like a drunken dog (using windows 2000 pro). If you don't need speed for anything in particular, you'd probably could get away with it.

Virtual PC stinks.

Get an Intel Mac and run Parallels. Fast!
