Connectix Virtual PC is a good product at base, but release 5 for OS X is a 'new' and weak version. I've used prior versions of VPC successfully under Mac OS 9 to run some of my old PC software and to access proprietary corporate web sites that are written for Windows only. This content applies to Windows Virtual Desktop with Azure Resource Manager Windows Virtual Desktop objects. If you're using Windows Virtual Desktop (classic) without Azure Resource Manager objects, see this article. Virtual PC for Mac employs standard Mac controls and commands. It gives you the flexibility to work across platforms-side by side-without changing your Mac OS, software. Virtual PC was originally developed by Connectix Corporation, which was acquired by Microsoft in 2003. In 2006, Virtual PC for Mac was discontinued. See Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion.
