This is ?200 worth of software on a ?3000+ Mac Setup. HELP!!!!!!

lol anyone?

Many thanks

What performance were you expecting out of X86 emulation? What is the processor showing up as in Windows? Mine only shows up as a 266MHz processor, and I'm running on a PowerBook. Windows XP Media Center Edition is bearable. It's, of course, not nearly as fast as the native hardware, but it's fine for checking something small.

i was expecting to do things like work n play games on windows version just on my G5 Mac but obviously i cant :(

Hate to say it but you was expecting a bit too much. Even the Windows based version of VPC is severely limited in power. =/ No real gaming support, and heavily taxing applications run fairly slow. In my opinion, it's mainly made for being used to test out different things if you don't have a spare PC to use...

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.

    • If you have the budget...! Some solo or indies just want to either learn or start their game and aren't in a capacity to pay salaries or to contractors... Get real.
