That if C3C or Civ4 is that important, I'd rather spend money on a box of bits than give M$ a ton of cash for Virtual PC.

You might have issues with the SafeDisc copy protection. Virtual PC (in versions past at least) has not coped well with this.

Glad to see you're still keeping an eye on things, Brad. I've usually been able to work around those kind of problems in the past. Hopefully it won't come up this time. BTW, what do you hear about 1.29f?

I talked to the MacSoft guys about it this last week. They've got it, but they haven't yet had a chance to look at it, what with all the Halo, AoM and MacWorld stuff going on.

I know where you can find a bunch of experienced beta testers who would be happy to run it through the wringer immediately.
