I heard you can run OS7, OS8, and/or OS9 (maybe even OSX) off a pc useing virtual pc.
How do u install it, since the CD is in a different format that pc cant read.

Check out the connectix site. I think one version comes with the OSx image ready to run.

I don't think it's possible.

I don't think you can put Windows on a Mac either.

Different Platform.

VMware fucked up my system

I got windows xp back to the way it was and i use a windows 2000 partion to run Virtual PC O/s'. Seems to work better and more efficient than Virtual PC.

Yea, windows will run on a mac.
I know Mac OS 7 or 8 can also run on a pc. It's possible to get 9 and 10 too i bet.

Although, It only seems to mention running Windows on VPC when already running Mac OS/X, not the other way round :o :huh: :unsure:

My friend gave me his old imac 500mhz. I downloaded OS X and installed it. It might run, or it might be laggy. (Notice, the mhz on macs is diffrent...500mhz will run like a 800mhz pc. but in the end PC beats mac by supporting all the software :lol: )

bump, i did find a way to run OS 7 on windows... not with virtual pc ether

I used some japanese program that was all in japanese (had to search and find the language settings) but it ran like virtual pc and had os 7 on it.

Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.
