Microsoft Buys VirtualPC.

Simple, they see it as a threat. Development will halt till the company ceases to exist. Typical Macroshaft.

"In a statement, Apple praised Microsoft's move.

"Adding Virtual PC to its product portfolio is yet another example of Microsoft's continued commitment to the Mac platform," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "Virtual PC has helped people who want to own a Mac but need to run legacy PC applications. We're glad to see Virtual PC go into such good hands." "

LOL!!

I hope someone makes a good emulator like that for AmigaOS, so that in the future, in  the times when PPC goes ahead in the race, people really take notice of it. There's no way that one is gonna be a good product now  :-x

"Do Microsoft see it as a threat? Why would they do that, when more copies of VirtualPC in use most likely lead to more copies of Windows operating systems in use, each one needing its own license?"

They know very well that people who buy they're crap OS are the ones that get it originaly with the computer, in 9x% cases.
