Some of us have to
I was only able to get a PowerBook for business travel because
VPC was available. I have to demo a small Win only app to show
the service I sell and VPC took care of that primary need. There
is also a small WIn only app for a piece of medical equipment I
use for sleep (an autopap) and VPC/2000 Pro handles that with
ease.

While PPC versions are not the fastest thing around the Mactels
should run at near native speeds, allowing people who use heavy
Win apps (like AutoCAD) to use both XP when needed and OS X
the rest of the time.

MS has an interest in supporting VPC as it not only generates
revenues from VPC sales, but also sells XP packs. If they don't
put the product out then someone else will.
