WinTel product built for the new Intel based Macs runs Windows(R) within Mac OS X offering performance we have always dreamed of: nearly native.

Looks interesting... Anyone tried it?

This sounds all good on

This sounds all good on paper, and infact I even considered buying it. I have no Intel Mac, but surely the performance must be pretty good even on a PPC?

Luckily, their website also states: "The performance is very similar to VirtualPC. We do not recommend using WinTel for CPU intensive applications."

Guess I just saved myself $25. All I got is a 1GHz G4 PB, and VPC with WinXP runs like maple syrup on a cold winters day.

Can this really change to "nearly native" speed, simply by adding an additional GHz, and a recompile for the Intel? Again, sounds good on paper - but can it really be true?
