Relief! 
2007-04-03
It was a relief for me to be able to keep and upgrade Word and Excel, and to get Virtual PC (for Access) as well. I used them a lot on my PC a few years ago, and when I first switched to Mac, couldn't find software that did what they did. I had no trouble installing the upgrade on my iMac G5, nor did I have trouble installing Virtual PC. The only thing that WAS disappointing was that I couldn't find out whether accessing the Internet from Virtual PC would open me up to PC-type viruses, or if Mac's Unix system would protect me there, too. I continue to be disappointed that the Mac version of this software is not as rich as the PC version. But the upgrade itself worked well for what it was meant to do.
Mocrosoft on a Mac

I was able to install most of MS office but am having printer conpatability problems. I wasn't able to install Vitural Pc properly and get error messages when i boot up. I'm going to have to the Mac store genius bar to get the problems straightened out. All in all I think that every thing will work OK but I'm going to have yto travel over 50 miles to get it fixed. Maybe it's best to stick with Mac software for Macs. I've NEVER has a problem installing them.
Rip off 
2006-07-08
This product arrived with 2 number 2 installation disks for the Virtual PC and no number 1. As a result, I was not able to install VPC, which was one of the reasons I purchased this overly expensive product. The Office part does not seem that signicant an upgrade to the Office X that I had. So it is both an aggravation and a rip off.
VP 7.0 is SUITE now that i finally got it installed! 2004-11-10
A great bargain - you get full office Professional, VP and full version of Windows for under $300 dollars. After waiting for months and months for Office 2004 Professional to be released, when it finally came out I was ecstatic. One problem: VP 7.0 wouldn't install on my G5, only on my laptop. I called Microsoft support and within minutes they told me that they were working on a patch for machines with over 2.0 GB of ram. I downloaded the update a week later when it came out and everything is now golden. The moral of the story is that Microsoft underestimates the needs of Mac users because they are used to wimpy PCs that have no ram!
Nice suite, but Virtual PC 7 disappoints on my G5 2004-10-03
I purchased the upgrade since I'd already bought both Office v.X and Virtual PC 6.1 last year.
The biggest letdown is that Microsoft's promised support for the G5 is nearly non-existent. I have a dual processor G5 with an ATI Radeon 9800 card (Apple), and after trying to install Virtual PC 7 three times, I cannot get a VM to work. It did install (and work) flawlessly on my G4 Powerbook. Googling for reviews finds it's very hit or miss, but if (when) it misses, you'll regret investing the extra $$$ in an immature product.
