Has anyone tried to run Virtual PC 2007 and FS 2004? If so how well does it work? The problem is I have this kick butt Power PC Mac and cant find a way to run FS 2004. X-plane fails miserably in comparison and I just love FS 2004. If anyone has any other ideas, other then selling my mac I'm all ears.

Thank you in Advance

Dave

as far as i know, nobody on hear uses a mac. correct me if i'm wrong though.
I don't see why it won't work. You can always call Microsoft and ask them or you can buy my computer, LOL.
That is a nifty little tool, i kinda like it. never knew such a thing existed.

Thanks you for the fast reply! I assumed that much; about no one being mac users, but i thought i would check anyway. Virtual PC is a pretty cool tool, but from what i've read its not great on graphics. The most you can push the graphics is 16 MB. Stupid Right?! LOL I might have to take you up on your computer offer... LOL :) Let me do a little more research on this subject.

Thanks again for the fast reply.

The best solution to running Microsoft games is to run a system with an actual Microsoft OS, not an emulator. Just my two cents
