Will this really run ALL Windows based pc programs? I assume that would mean music production programs as well??
Anyone using it now??? http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebO....0.6.13.11.29.3 |

Microsoft Windows is running in "virtual" hardware; each normal hardware function of the PC has to be simulated in software and then translated out to the Mac hardware that will provide the interface. Microsoft doesn't make specifications easily available on their site; however all of the interface issues mentioned have to do with printers, scanners, networks and CD drives, no mention of audio.
I have not tried VPC with audio software, but I would be very surprised if any pro audio software/hardware worked correctly. For example, although you may be able to install Gigastudio and its drivers, how would you make it address a Mac interface which did not support GSIF? It is also much slower than Windows on a Pentium machine, timing problems would be another key issue for any audio program. I suggest looking at VirtualPC only if you have a text-based or non-audio Windows application that you must run. Accounting program? Sure. Acid? Forget it. Thanks Trevor CanadaRAM.com |
