Virtual PC is software for the Mac to enable it to run MS Window within a window so they can use PC software. The software made by Connectix.

I have used both Virtual PC and VM ware and had no issues with either.
Both very good and very handy bits of software to have.

I had about 8 OS's installed last time. I tried running them all at once but i ran out of RAM. lol

Anyways here is a screenshot of what VPC can look like.
