Microsoft: "Still discussing" Virtual PC for Intel Macs

Windows is a necessary evil for many people in the corporate world, but those of us lucky enough to be able to use Macs at work have been able to get away with running Virtual PC (VPC), which runs the Windows OS in emulation. But will Microsoft continue to develop VPC for the new Intel Macs? According to MacMinute, the jury is still out. In a statement issued earlier today, Microsoft said,

"The Mac BU recognizes the need for the product and believes it is the best virtualization solution for PowerPC users, so it is committed to providing Virtual PC to new and existing PowerPC customers. However, Microsoft is still discussing with Apple the feasibility of bringing Virtual PC for Mac to Intel-based Macs in the future and has not made any announcements about if/how the product might work on the new machines."

Keep your fingers crossed (I think, right?). You wouldn't want to give up your Mac at work.
