Give it a try.

I would need VPC to run a new copy of Adobe Acrobat correct? Does Apple make a similar program, and if they do what's it called??

(VPC isn't very good at what it's suppossed to do.) I suggest going with MS Office for Mac - you'll be much happier with its performance and all your files that were created in PC should be readable by MS Office Mac Tue, 07 Feb 2006 01:38:52 GMT http://AppleComputer.tribe.net/thread/f6acfe62-2719-4fd1-8b10-d3e9bab9b269#5789c135-e56a-41e9-bc2c-3937dbe3d954 saxafraz 2006-02-07T01:38:52Z http://AppleComputer.tribe.net/thread/f6acfe62-2719-4fd1-8b10-d3e9bab9b269#3437e706-80cf-46e5-92c5-9e749141e2c8 Hi everyone, JUST ordered my new G4 laptop. Not too knowledgable about macs. If I install virtual pc, can I also install a copy of XP pro that I have? That version has all the microsoft software that I need: word, powerpoint, excel etc. OR do I need to buy Microsoft Office for Macs which also contains those apps? Anything else a new Mac owner should know?? THANKS so much for any advice!!
