Just seen an advert on TV which amused me slightly.

It's for a service called FinallyFast.co.uk. Its intention is to
diagnose any problems with a PC that may cause it to run slowly. This
service is apparently for "PC computers only".

What amusing me is that the first 2 computers they have simulating a
problem, is an iMac G5, and an iBook. Both apparently running Windows
XP!

Well there's the problem right there; VirtualPC was never very fast.
What they should be doing is running OS X on them. That'd cure it. ;-)

You need virtual pc to run windows no longer- the tech people at my work use
macs running windows, because they are faster at doing even this job.

Not on an iMac G5 or an iBook it wouldn't.
