- It can only emulate OSes that run on your existing architecture. So MAC / AIX etc won't work
It would be ridiculously slow to emulate a different architecture. Plus, what would Mac make of a mouse wheel? 
Virtual PC is a powerful software virtualization solution that allows you to run multiple PC-based operating systems simultaneously on one workstation, providing a safety net to maintain compatibility with legacy applications while you migrate to a new operating system. It also saves reconfiguration time, so your support, development, and training staff can work more efficiently.
This is a 45-day time-out, full version of the Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 product. No serial number is required.
POSITIVE IN LONGER TERM
Chia declined to name the products that the advanced chips would be used in, citing confidentiality agreements. Analysts said the chips could be used in personal computers with higher processing speeds and handsets.
Analysts said the deal would be positive for Chartered in the longer term.
"We would expect a small contribution to Chartered's revenues from these 90 nanometre chips in 2005," said Kim Eng Ong Asia Securities analyst Dharmo Soejanto.
Chartered, reeling from three straight years of losses, has said it would post a narrower loss of US$40 to US$48 million for the October to December period, on a 28 to 30 percent rise in revenues from the third quarter. The company will report its results on January 30.
Shares of Chartered more than doubled in 2003 on market anticipation of an upturn in the global semiconductor industry. The stock was down 1.6 percent at S$1.86 on Thursday, against a 0.3 percent fall in the main index.
