Yup! Looks as if Micro-snot is aiming a broadside at the Mac community.
Probably if we don't have a copy of Virtual PC, we should get it now before
they squash the product for good.

A real shame too! Connectix was one of the most innovative Mac developers
anywhere.

What do you think the chances are that they will keep Virtual PC going. On
the one hand, it is a way of selling a few more (very few, admittedly)
Windoz packages. On the other hand, it is a way of making switchers who are
trying to do things both ways on one machine switch back - and those who are
on the brink of switching to think again.
