PC Emulator for the new Intel Macs.

[Tinchohs]

Hi, I am considering switching to the Mac. Now that the new Intel Mac
has been released, my concern is not having a PC emulator for those few
PC based apps that I have not found or are not ready to substitute yet.


Questions:
(1) Does anyone have a word on when the Virtual PC will work for the
Intel based Macs?
(2) Does anyone use another PC amulator that they can reccommend?
(3) Any other idea to address this need?

Thanks so much. Martin.

you'll want to check this out, newly posted on macrumors.com, on
OpenOSX

There is also WINE / Darwine, this is what I am looking forward to, I
am sure we'll see it running on the new Intel Macs soon.

this one though, actually runs Windows, meaning you must install
Windows.

WINE / Darwine runs Windows .exe's (API's) without having to install
Windows, pretty good huh.

The VPC newsgroup has a lot of discussion about this--probably worth
checking their archives as well:

Check http://www.macwindows.com/ . They have two articles on their front
page right now. One is about iEmulator (http://www.iemulator.com/) and the
other is about WinTel (http://openosx.com/wintel/index.html).

Keep an eye out, the future looks bright indeed.
