Guest PC is an emulator of the x86 PC for the Mac OS X platform. We had a quick look at the product and we compared it to VirtualPC 6.1 that we also happened to have in-house.

Guest PC is rather new, so cut the guys some slack, will you. There is still room for improvement. I personally still have an old VPC 5 which is good for my needs. Guest PC is good because it puts pressure on MS to keep VPC state-of-the-art. QEMU is too slow to be of practical use, and this was troubling me. VPC is an MS product, after all. MS might decide to kill VPC to keep potential switchers on windows. If Guest PC gets better, there will be some real competiton, and MS cannot wipe out the PC emulator market on Mac by axing VPC.
