Got the new MacBook Pro and loving it.
Just wondering if anyone knows how to use the Virtual PC and if it is any good, where I could get a good price on it.

You mean to boot with Windows? Don't you use something called BootCamp or something?

You could also try out Parallels Workstation, very solid product.

boot camp, you have to reboot into windows, but it is free
parallels, you can have both windows and osx open at the same time, it cost $80. I like that boot camp is free, but I like the virtual idea better. I have several virtual machines on my pc, and I setup a dual boot for windows xp and vista.

I love my Mac Book Pro, but I have never used Bootcamp or even wanted to run Windows on it.

I have tried installing windows in the mac with bootcamp. It's quite easy.
Driver support sucks currently. You cannot use a couple USB ports, the web cam, no right click (control+click doesnt work) so you'll need to put a mouse in the USB ports that do work.
Support for these should be updated soon. Although I wish they were already out.
