	Aug 22 2007	THREEDEE912 Very slow on my G4, but that's to be expected. Successfully installed Win2000 and Ubuntu. (Version 0.8.1a35)		0

	Jul 17 2006	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)		0

	Apr 21 2006	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)		0

	Mar 29 2006	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)		0

UMAROMC For the .doc files I'd recommend the OS X-native NeoOffice.

JSLMG Actually, no emulator of any kind is needed on a Mac for .doc files. Yes, NeoOffice, clunky and resource-hungry as it is, is one option. AppleWorks works just fine, and is fast too. It saves any document you can later open in MS Word should you so desire. If you're using Mac, why not just use what's already there? Test it out...It's a lot of more cross-platform than you might think, and no emulator needed.

	Mar 3 2006	LECTRICK Works almost as fast as VPC, except free. Supports most of the same features as VPC. The universal binary version supposedly runs way faster than VPC on Intel hardware... I suggest you all keep an eye on this project! (Version 0.8.0d537)		0

JSLMG Keep in mind that this one is not the only "free" x86 emulator available for Mac. There's Bochs--which requires a little Unix knowledge--and QemuX, another attempt at giving Qemu a nice interface, but one that remains pretty buggy. Hopefully, Q emulator will be more successful than these.
