Sorry, I don't believe that XP Pro in Virtual PC runs fine on a G5 PPC. I already have that setup and it is so slow that it is unusable.

Given the way it is running on his G5, in an emulated environment, it does work fine. I wouldn't expect anything to run particularly fast in emulation, but it does run and serves its purpose. So, fine is a perfectly fine descriptor, in that case.

This thread has gone off the deep end. The "best" version of windoze to run on a Mac is none. But if you must run windoze, expee is the way to go. Vista bites completely in any version. It is bloted, overpriced and is not long for this world. Expee Pro runs "extremely well" under in boot camp with "extremely well" meaning as well as windoze can run.
