One thing AccessPC does that I *really* like -- and which DOS Mounter
doesn't do (at least no one has mentioned it) -- is the ability to "mount"
SoftPC partitions as if they were Mac drives.  I doubt Apple's utility
will do this, since SoftPC isn't Apple's product.

If they *do* have exactly the same capabilities, and the same price, then
I can't see why Apple is bringing it to market in the first place.  I'd have
to see what Apple's utility does before forming a conclusion.
