Of course, I am curious how this compares in speed to VPC. I have noticed this has been updated quite frequently.
From my experience it is a little slower, but considering that VPC isnt any good for CPU intensive applications anyway, anything your running under VPC should also run OK under GuestPC. I use to run the windows version of Word 2000, to check for compatibility issues with the Mac version.
I did a review of Guest PC 1.4 and in my opinion, it is a tad slower than vpc. However, it has come a long way and considering virtual switch support for vpc under Tiger is broke, your options are limited. I hope to update my review for 1.5 soon.
