THREEDEE  Very slow on my G4, but that's to be expected. Successfully installed Win2000 and Ubuntu.   (Version 0.8.1a35)

TOMIS  Surprisingly, VirtualPC 5 on a 1GHz G4 iBook noticably outperforms Q on a 2Ghz iMac G5 , both running a fresh instal of Windows 98

I didn't do any benchmarking. I'm going purely based on how fast it feels.

Performance problems aside, it does exactly what it says. It does it easier than the other free PC emulation software, and hey it's free!

I'd like to see performance optimizations for the Intel emulation on PowerPCs but the Qemu team is probably focusing on getting intel virtualization working now.

A great overall product, it shows a lot of promise!  (Version 0.8.1a35)

DOMINO88  I have installed WinXP SP2 and I can't seems to get the wireless working on Windows. Any suggestion? Have I done anything wrong?

I have set my router to DHCP, it works on my PowerBook.  (Version 0.8.0a949)

MACUSR  While I was waiting to get VPC, I used Q. It's easy to set up, but it was slow. It was good for an emulation, but I wouldn't recommend this for everyday work use. Maybe just for that .doc file or a small DOS game. Maybe on the G5s and Intels it runs better, but on my G4, VPC is much faster.  (Version 0.8.0d537)
