And Brad, I’ve used Windows 2000 on my dual 2.0 PM G5 as well as my MacBook. Yeah, it took a while to install on the G5, but it runs well. On the MacBook it flies!

Overall I’m quite satisfied with iEmulator and the iEmulator folks. A good price, great documentation and fantastic service.

That was version 1.78.
When the next version came out, ver. 1.79, I could not find a way to download it without having to pay for it again before I could download it. There is no longer any “support” tab on their homepage with this new version, either. In fact I couldn’t find a contact address for it so that I could explain the problem to them. Version 1.78, by the way , never properly installed any system windows or linux.

After an hour of the “discovering devices” stage of the Win2K install, my G5 actually blew the circut breaker in my apartment. I want my money back.

well, as they’ve said, emulators are slow.
funny that for about the cost of Virtual PC 7, you could practically buy a barebones pc system and have the full speed to run whatever pc app you need.
Obviously for powerbook users, this may not be the point, but it could be something to think about if you really need to run Windows for something.

Well, it took more that 24 hours, then I decided that it was time to let the cpu fan take a break.
Maybe on faster macs…
