Virtual PC has been tested to run Windows, Linux and DOS on Macs with a PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor. An operating system installed within the emulated environment of Virtual PC doesn't distinguish whether it is running on emulated or real hardware, it will act as if it was running on a real PC. Since Virtual PC is a fully functional x86-PC-emulator, it should run any 32-Bit PC operating system, including your own version of Windows, which then has to be activated like on any other ordinary PC.

Virtual PC for Mac lets you have the best of both worlds. It gives you the flexibility to work across platforms-side by side-without changing your Mac OS, software or files. The bundle, Microsoft Virtual PC version 7 with Windows XP Professional, is advertised as running Windows applications, access Windows networks, use Windows-only Internet applications, and share files with Windows-based colleagues on your Mac. It is OEM-activated for use with the emulated hardware of Virtual PC 7 and will not require additional online activation, similar to Windows XP recovery/restore CDs/DVDs for PCs of that time. This bundle contains a prepared Windows XP image for use with Virtual PC.
Intel-Macs are not supported by any version of Virtual PC for Mac.

It is the last version of Virtual PC ever to be released for the Mac. Compared to version 6, which was released by Connectix, it fully supports the PowerPC 970 aka G5 processor and requires Mac OS X (Jaguar, Panther). Version 7.0 is the first to be released by Microsoft. Virtual PC for Mac lets you run x86-PC operating systems and applications on your Mac, employing standard Mac controls and commands.
