Disklavier

Greetings Mike,

I also have a G5 pre intel and have been meaning to try my utilities on it but do not have a copy of virtual pc here. It is in some drawer in another house and was bought a million years ago for use with win 98 maybe. I have a few copies of XP that I bought recently to stockpile for new computers that might come with Vista so I could install this on the Mac. Do I need to buy a new virtual PC? What about bootcamp? Any ideas on what makes sense to get XP working on this G5?
