A tip from a friend that was too good not to pass along:

__________________________
"Just passing on some info in case someone else (like me) doesn't know about Microsoft Remote Desktop. I just got my G5 and I was pissed that Virtual PC won't work with it. While searching the net, I came across a quote "I use a PC with Windows XP Pro installed and MS Remote Desktop and it's much faster". Well, since I gave my wife my G4, (getting her off a PC!) I installed a copy of windows XP Pro on her PC and downloaded the Mac OS X Version of MS Remote Desktop to the G4. This configuration rocks! Her PC is only a 667 Celeron, but the screen response and capability to run any program on her PC right on her G4 is awesome!!!

If you need to run PC Apps, and have a PC laying around.. then try this. I don't have a keyboard or screen or anything else connected to the PC (well, I do have an Epson 740 with a Parallel Connection.. as well as a USB connection to the mac from the same printer) So both computers can use the same printer.

A much better solution than VPC.. much faster.. much more compatible on the windows side."
