does virtual pc (ver 7.0.1) work with tiger? what are the issues?

Hello beaufer-ga,

Virtual PC 7.01 does in fact work with Tiger.  Having said that, there
are some gotchas.  Microsoft outlines these in a document
appropriately named "Description of the current compatibility issues
that occur between Virtual PC for Mac programs and the Mac OS X Tiger
operating system (Mac OS X 10.4)" located at:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;899934

I have used Virtual PC under Tiger and feel it is usable enough.  It's
just some of the extra features like the "Dock proxy programs" and the
"Dock Start menu" that don't work.  I never liked those features
because they give Windows a constant presence in Mac OS X.  You may
feel differently, but they are definitely unnecessary.

Other than that, make sure you have the networking set to "shared
networking" and it should work fine.  Obviously Microsoft has another
patch in the works to address these issues.  The time frame for its
release is anyone's guess.

Thanks for your question,
Emlyn

The most annoying thing (for me) is that since it is an emulation
software, it is still very slow. I've tried it with a Mac G5 dual
running at 2Ghz with 2.5 Gb of ram, and it is slow.
