Check the mac.com web site for the announcement of the new MS Office 
for the MAC.  MS bought Virtual PC from Connectix.

The new Pro version of MS Office includes Virtual PC which puts Windows 
XP on the Mac.  I did not check to see if Virtual PC is still 
abvailabe.  I had the standalone version of Virtual PC on my G4 
originally and while it was a bit slow it worked.  With MS's direct 
input I suspect it will be significantly better.  I took it off because 
I needed more disk space on the Mac, but I plan to reinstall it so I 
can run Picture Window Pro 3.1.

The trick will be getting PWP to print to Gimp-Print so I can use 
QuadTone RIP.
