I have a 12in Powerbook with a PowerPC processor.
I was wondering if there was any way to run windows apps or windows itself on a PPC mac without using microsoft virtual PC. If there was any free way it would be alot better.
Thanks in advance

To put it simply, no. There are some emulators and such but Virt PC is AFAIK the best one. If Windows is a big deal to you you would really need to upgrade to an Intel machine or just get a cheap PC.

Sorry :(

Well there is parallels but you need a windows license. There is a program called boot-camp but i think you need a license for that too. If you really need it i might be able to help you. I have a program called Crossover and it can run .exe files and other windows programs without booting into another operating system. You can buy it for $60.00. (Bitorrent *cough* cough*)


If you need it alot PM me and i will be able to help you out :).

Parallels and especially Boot Camp will not run on a PPC mac and never will, unfortunately.
