| FWB Inc. has discontinued its RealPC 
emulation product, according to a statement posted on its Web site. The news 
dashes the hopes of Mac users looking for an emulation alternative to VirtualPC, 
Connectix's virtual machine emulation technology now owned by Microsoft. Back in 
June, FWB 
indicated to MacCentral that a Mac OS X-native version of RealPC was on the 
way. The development had briefly stopped to straighten out some trademarking 
issues with Microsoft Corp. itself, according to FWB's then-vice president of 
sales and marketing Mark Prewitt. |
