> it wasn’t until 2003 before Apple was able to shipp an OS remotely embodying anything here for most end users Perhaps I wasn't most end users, but I was able to leverage a Mac 8500 from 1997 with an upgraded dual G4 450MHz daughter card to run Connectix Virtual PC and Windows XP on 10.0 Cheetah in 2002 (daughter card would not support newer OS versions) in order to attend remote online A/V Blackboard courses for a semester at my alma mater. The virtualization was a lame dog, but somehow it worked well enough for me to complete the courses, and I can only assume the base Cheetah operating system performed far better on contemporary Mac hardware (which would have been the 2002 Quicksilver, G4 800MHz up to dual G4 1GHz). |
