VPC in Tiger?

cwtnospam · 04-30-2005, 02:07 PM

Has anybody run Virtual PC in Tiger yet? I understand that it runs, but not all things work. I only use it for one application, and I need to be sure that it will run.

It should be ok. I understand that Networking and E-Mail/Internet won't work. The two apps that I use both work and print.

Just my luck! The only thing I need is Internet Explorer for one PC-centric site, and only because they insist on using ActiveX crap.

I just checked and Internet Explorer and the internet does work.
You should be ok.

Thanks. I guess I can order it then! Know of any deals?

$95 at amazon.com if you purchase by 5/31/05, send in your rebate form by 7/1/05, and then wait 6 - 8 weeks for your $35 rebate.

And of course Apple's educational discount, and Apple's Family Pack if either of those apply to you.

I believe virtual switch networking is disabled.

I can confirm that virtual switch is disabled. You get an error message when you launch. Internet explorer appears to work fine.
