Virtual PC is the bomb
Virtural PC lets you run an instance of Windows on your Mac. Granted the speed isn’t all that great, but that’s not the point. The point is that I now have a disposable windows installation.
Eg, if my windows2000 install on VirtualPC gets fouled up, I just delete it and copy over another one. Fantastic!
This means I can check out how IE will mangle my webpages and deal with stupid windows only utilities.
