Taxes, Virtual & Real PC

I did get my taxes done, and it was by using H&R Block's Tax Cut. Unless I hear that Intuit has dropped product activation from Turbo Tax, I won't even consider that product next year. Hopefully, H&R Block will be too smart to incorporate it. If not, some human will get my tax business.

For the Mac lovers out there...

Most of you probably know that Microsoft acquired Connectix and Virtual PC, the only real product out there for OS X that allows you to run a Windows operating system within it. Now that Connectix is gone, FWB software has announced that Real PC and Soft Windows would be updated and released for OS X shortly. Apparently, they had some agreements with Connectix that had been holding them back. Now, that Connectix is gone, they are free.

One interview I found about this subject is on the website "MacBoduille". The most interesting thing about it is that not only will Real PC be cheaper than Virtual PC, but it is being designed for true multi-processor and 3D game support! That would be a real breakthrough for us Mac lovers. Not that I would give up my Athlon XP powered desktop for running games. I wouldn't. But I feel really good knowing I won't be absolutely tied to having even one Windows' machine in the house if I don't want it. Once Macs get fast enough where I see my flight sims run as fast on my Mac as they do on my PC, I will more than likely replace my PC and give it to someone else in my family. But I'll keep my PC for now...
