Virtual Pc 6

I ordered my Powerbook 17" today for $2400 (I have a company cooenction). Does anyone have virtual PC 6?? Can you install Win Xp on it with a regular install disk?? I really need this piece of software to transfer my thousands of school documents from my PC. Is anyone willing to share it with me? I don't want this to turn into a piracy thread (Contrasutra refrain from making an arguement here), thus I would prefer if someone would PM me with a link, file, or tell me where I can find it. Thanks.

PS: I think Godpunk has it but I'm not sure, are you willing to clarify that for me. Thanks

uh.... i dont recomend anyone posting warez in this forum at all.. if you do, the post will be deleted

just so ya know you can get a trail version.. how about trying that out first !

but remember.. you cant do everything in virtual pc since it emulates everything which it will be slow!

but anyways try the trail out for 30days

OS X can read Windows drives, so cant you network your 2 PCs together and transfer your documents over. You shouldnt need VPC. Its really easy to network them. Because OS X Comes with ZeroConf, instant networking (thank you linux )

And I believe Apple Works can read Office Docs, if thats what you need. If not, I know OpenOffice can, and they have a mac version.

Piracy is wrong dudes. :rant: :own:

contrasutra is right, you don't need VP to get your files from windows, with samba you'll connect to a windows box with just two clicks :canadian: :canadian:

Yes, I do have VPC, although I rarely use it, and when I do it's to use Kazaa. If youi are going to run it, the ONLY OS to run is Win2k. Don't use XP- I tried and it is slower than hell. 2k is the most responsive out of all the Windows versions; go with that. I'm sure Taha would back me up on this.

As far as providing a link to a copy of VPC- no. Sorry.

that's right, I installed XP on my iMac with VP6, and I tried it for 10 minutes after uninstalling it. The slowest thing i've ever tried...

Thanks for the info. guys. I still have one more favor to ask, can you provide a list of essential OS X programs that I should get??

I know about only Ofiice v.X, so I need some input here. Thanks in advance.
