Description: 
Virtual PC for Mac version 7 lets users run a Windows operating system and Windows applications on a Macintosh computer. It provides access to Windows-only programs and to peripheral devices that don't run on the Mac.

With Virtual PC for Mac, users create one or more virtual machines that emulate the Windows environment. A virtual machine appears as an application window on the Mac desktop and its Start menu can be placed in the OS X Dock. Users can switch between the Mac and Windows environments, share folders, and use utilities like copy-and-paste.

Virtual PC for Mac supports Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home Edition, and Windows 2000 Professional. Some features do not work with unsupported operating systems such as Windows 98.

Virtual PC for Mac runs best on computers with high-speed processors and plenty of memory.
