Windows Emulation without VirtualPC?

Postby Don_HH2K » Tue 11 May, 2004 8:17 pm

I recently looked at the system requirements for NT4 workstation and found that it supports PPC-bsed systems. Can I install NT4 on a Mac machine?

No. Windows NT 4 required a different type of PPC processor than the one that is in a Macintosh computer (Not G3, G4, G5)

Addition to what Mandrake said,
Microsoft discontinued the PowerPC platform development in 1997.

You aren't referring to the 68k processors, are you?

To answer your subject "Windows Emulation without VirtualPC?"
Please see Win apps on Mac without Windows.

If you want to ask Windows NT for PowerPC, please use an appropriate subject.
