You should only really need to worry about IE, anything else runs on the
Mac.

I've never been happy with Win98, as I've never managed to keep a system
running Win98 for stable for very long.

So far I have Win XP Pro and BeOS Max (V5 PE with updates) running on VPC 7,
when running XP Pro one thing I seriously recommend is changing the default
theme to "Windows Classic", as XP will be much more responsive.  I need to
look into getting Win95 and Win98SE running as I've some old apps that won't
run on Win2k, or WinXP.

Has anyone managed to get Linux up and running?  I have another app that I
need that only runs on Linux, and I'm not sure what versions of Linux will
work under VPC 7.

In playing with trying to get some non-MS OS's running, most of my problems
seem to be due to the S3 video card that VPC emulates.
