I cannot get a successful install of XP running on my G5 with this software. If I could find a place to get VPC 2007 I would. Program has crapped out on me at ALL stages of the XP install process - its not XP that hangs either. I have to force quit the app then restart the machine, because the window the VM is running in never goes away after a force quit. I have a G5 and for various reasons it would benefit me to have a copy of XP running (or vista or win7) on this box, but I cant get it to run with any kind of stability at all. I don't care how slow it is, just need it to work. Very disappointed. I have a Wintel box so please don't flame me about that. I like the PPC machines... call me a dinosaur if you will. Took me YEARS to upgrade past the 68k series macs.
