  Microsoft Acquires Connectix VM Assets
Time: 16:33 EST/21:33 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: Bill Roach

Microsoft Corp. has acquired the Virtual Machine assets of Connectix Corp., a privately held company in San Mateo, Calif., that has been involved in Virtual Machine (VM) technology since its inception in 1988. One of the motivations behind the move, at least from the perspective of Microsoft's server group, is to offer a solution that will allow Microsoft customers running an NT 4 line of business applications to continue to run these as a virtual machine alongside the upcoming Windows Server 2003 product family.

Itis not clear from the article how much of Connectix was bought, but if they bought everything to do with VirtualPC, this could end up being TRAGIC news for Mac users.

Agreed. It is tragic news for Mac users.

Without Virtual PC for their Mac, their Macs will be worthless.

<said tongue in cheek>

Oh come on TL. You have remote desktop for OS X now. Virtual PC was dead for all intents and purposes anyways...

I actually don't see a substantial impact on Apple in the short to mid term so I could care less, but people are strange.

Buy a 200 dollar computer to run AutoCAD, Access, etc? Don't think so... emulation through VPC on a midrange G4 is superior to that option.

Remote Desktop kills VPC? No way... Remote Desktop requires a PC at the other end and still experiences slow downs...

The point of an emulator is to not require a PC, people--these are not alternatives.

VPC is a niche (but not nearly as small as .05% of Mac users) on the Mac, but it is an important tool not replaced by cheap PCs or RD. Boch emulator? Not quite, but closer.

It appears that Microsoft did buy some of the VirtualPC for Mac software...

http://news.com.com/2100-1001-985149.html

Microsoft is acquiring some assets of Connectix, including an unreleased server program and software that permits Windows to run on a Macintosh.

Jeez, mooresa, can you only read bold?

The article clearly states that it is VPC. That it will be managed by the MacBU. That they will continue development.

Most of us were already past "appearances" and possibilities two hours ago. But thanks.

Jerk you can't be serious about VPC. It is the pokiest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. We purchased a 2000 server from Dell to fulfill this role for some people who need access to FrontPage from their Macs. On a G4 Ti Powerbook XP crawls... The only mac that I have seen capable of running vpc very well at all is a dual g4. One processor just isnt enough. And btw Remote Desktop is much faster on that machine than VPC.

Have you ever even tried Remote Desktop?

#8 By 2332 (65.221.182.3) at 2/20/2003 12:26:25 AM
#10 - Let's see here...

MOTHERBOARD (abbr.) = $51.99
AMD XP - 1700+ CPU OEM w/ FAN = $59.00
SDRAM PC-133 256MB 168-PIN SDRAM = $25.00
IDE MAXTOR 30GB 7200RPM ATA133 2MB Buffer = $57.95
NVIDIA GF2 MX400 64MB 4XAGP = $45.00
AOPEN 52X IDE CD-ROM = $24.95
140W 2 SPEAKER SYSTEM = $15.00

Total = $278.89
Including shipping and tax. :-)

Granted, that's a pretty crappy machine... but still... for less than 300 bucks!?

#9 By 3339 (65.198.47.10) at 2/20/2003 12:54:08 PM
"Have you ever even tried Remote Desktop?" Yes, did you read my post?

"Buy a 200 dollar computer to run AutoCAD, Access, etc? Don't think so... emulation through VPC on a midrange G4 is superior to that option.

Remote Desktop kills VPC? No way... Remote Desktop requires a PC at the other end and still experiences slow downs..."

Where do I say RD is slower than running VPC on a single G4? I say a $200 PC cannot run AutoCAD as well as a G4 in emulation.... Which is true. I said RD isn't desirable because you are still connecting to a PC.

Let's say this again since almost everyone fails to read (good job, Jagged)... I'll say it loud:
The point of an emulator is to not require a PC, people--these are not alternatives.

Get it yet, Red?

#10 By 3339 (65.198.47.10) at 2/20/2003 8:10:33 PM
parker, do I have to point out again that I think you are an idiot and find it useless to talk to you because you do not understand basic facts, logic, and ,hell, even English?

What about this do you not understand?
"The point of an emulator is to not require a PC, people--these are not alternatives."

It doesn't matter if it's the slowest or the fastest--the slowest was out five years ago. What I was describing was a real world scenario that I am familiar with... A small architectural firm that has a Mac network (about 10 stations and I don't know about servers). The Macs are anywhere from a single 500 to the newest dual Gigs... They use Mac CAD and architectural software but need to be able to transfer and do some work in AutoCAD... For them, it is undesirable to have a $200 box that sucks monkey dick when it would mean supporting a PC. (It ain't gonna cost them jsut $200 bucks to make that machine useful.) They do not want a PC--they want to emulate it.

Do you get it yet? Mac VPC users do not want to buy a PC. They don't want to RD into a PC. They want to support their Apple hardware. Do you get it yet?

#11 By 3339 (65.198.47.10) at 2/20/2003 8:24:34 PM
For a second, parker, I thought I was being a little harsh... then I realized I said:

"emulation through VPC on a midrange G4 is superior to that option."

Seriously, dude, learn to read. Slow down. Do something, anything to not look like such an idiot. I don't like wasting time.
