I agree. I'm the sole Mac user in my company, and VPC allows me to talk
to the Windows NT network 100%. Over I'm amazed at what it can do.

I've been using VPC for 3 days and I'm amazed at it's seamless
integration;
at work I've been connecting to our NT network via the Mac's ethernet
port,
and using Office 97 and Outlook, Explorer, Netscape Communicator, etc.
just
like a real PC. It's pretty slow on my 7600/120, but the point is it
works!
It needs Photoshop-like RAM amounts, but I always keep in mind I'm
carrying
two OSes at once on my Mac, so it makes sense that it needs lots of ram.

Overall I'm very impressed at how Win 95 (and our NT network) have no
idea
that they're not talking to an intel box. Like I said, the integration
is
seamless; for example: when I have an audio CD playing in Windows' CD
player
app, I can flip back to the Mac, open the Mac's CD player, skip a track,
go
back to Windows and its CD player has skipped the track just as if I had
done it there! Wow. Overall, Connectix has done an amazing engineering
feat
here.
