Virtual PC 7 for the Macintosh with G5 support has been released!

  • Article

See the Microsoft VPC page for details. It's just in time to use with a new iMac G5! Some of the highlights of the release include:

  • G5 support (duh!)
  • Ships with Windows XP SP2
  • Some nice performance improvements, including making better use of the GPU
  • Zero configuration printing (if using Panther) - setting up printers used to be a major pain. Now, it's seamless, thanks to help from Panther's Postscript to PDF functionality
  • Refined UI - the preference and other UI has been refined to be easier to use
  • Usability improvements - various improvements were made in the setup and basic usage based on usability testing

    It's a real shame that MS choose not to give a free/cheap upgrade for people who had to buy v6.1 whilst they waited for the delayed v7.
