VPC vs. VNC?
"we set up a couple of old Windows 98 PCs in our data center so
our G5 users could run them remotely using VPC when needed"

I assume you mean VNC?

There are problems with this approach, aside from the hardware
cost. One of the things I like to use VPC for is setting up
configurations that are similar to ones customers are using so I
can troubleshoot a specific problem they're having. I also
maintain different versions of IE for testing Web applications.
With a PC, you're stuck with just one version of IE, and if it isn't
the latest version you're vulnerable to hundreds of security
exploits in addition to all the viruses. If a virtual PC gets a virus
you can just scrap it and rebuild it.
