Microsoft Corp.'s Macintosh Business Unit (Mac BU) today announced the
availability of Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac Version 7 with Windows XP
Professional and Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac Professional Edition.

Virtual PC for Mac is a must-have for Mac users who sometimes need to run
Microsoft Windows and work with PC-only software, files, networks and
devices directly on their Macs. Virtual PC 7 is offered in a box by itself,
but to get the highest level of cross-platform compatibility at the best
value, customers need Office 2004 Professional Edition, which includes
Virtual PC 7 with the latest version of Office for Mac.

"Compatibility is key to Mac users," said Scott Erickson, group product
manager of Mac BU at Microsoft. "Virtual PC 7 allows Mac users to run PC
software with more speed and simplicity than ever before. And now that
Virtual PC 7 is compatible with the G5, Mac users will be able to run it on
Apple's latest hardware."

"Microsoft is delivering important new features with the latest release of
Virtual PC for Mac, including support for the amazing Power Mac G5," said
Ron Okamoto, vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations at Apple
Computer Inc. "Virtual PC ensures cross-platform compatibility, offering a
comprehensive solution for Mac users who need access to PC-only software
and data."

In addition to compatibility with the Macintosh G5 and an enhanced user
experience, Virtual PC 7 also meets one of the top customer demands -
improved performance. Virtual PC 7 picks up the pace, clocking in at 10
percent to 30 percent faster than its predecessors. Applications overall
are quicker to respond, helping users maximize their time.

Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac
Professional Edition are now available at major resellers nationwide,
including the Apple Store online, Amazon.com, MacConnection, MacMall and
Mac Zone. Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP Professional is at a suggested
retail price of $249, and Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac Professional
Edition can be acquired at a suggested retail price of $499. An upgrade
version of Office 2004 Professional Edition is also available at a
suggested retail price of $329, an amazing value for both Office and
Virtual PC.

((http://www.microsoft.com/mac)http://www.microsoft.com/mac) for a personal
tour. Key enhancements in the new release include these:

G5 support. Virtual PC for Mac was significantly rewritten to run on the
64-bit G5 processor.

Improved performance. Virtual PC 7 is 10 percent to 30 percent faster than
its predecessors.

Better graphics handling. Taking advantage of the graphics processor on the
Mac, Virtual PC now delivers faster, cleaner graphics.

Fast Save. Virtual PC closes with the click of a button, saving the PC
state in the background so users can get back to their other work
immediately.

Enhanced user experience. Virtual PC 7 is more intuitive, straightforward
and just plain easier to use.

Easy installation. Virtual PC 7 includes a new setup assistant that guides
the user through an intuitive installation process.

Easy printing. Mac OS X Panther version 10.3 users can simply choose to
print from any PC application, and the file will automatically print to the
Mac's default printer.

Other editions of Virtual PC 7, including Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP Home
Edition, Windows 2000 Professional, Standalone and Upgrade, will be
available over the next few months. Virtual PC 7 and Office 2004
Professional can be acquired now in English, with details forthcoming on
availability in French, German, Japanese and Swedish. Customers can check
