one OS X release newer (but other is updated to it).

Despite being able to install Linux under VPC 6 on the iBook, it is proving a PITB to operate compared to earlier versions of VPC (4 & 5 on Apple & 4 & 5 on Windows).

This ver 6 won't intercept the Fx keys (which screws up screen switching in Linux). It works fine on my Win VPC 5.0 with Linux installed.

It is begining to look suspiciously like the way MS will ruin Linux on VPC.

Another frustralion is trying to switch the cursor between Linux & OS X, to do it the only way I can find (after reading the manual) is the minimise the Linux vpc with (Apple-key, M) then the cursor is free, then maximise Linux icon again.

On Windows with VPC there is a 2 key seq that takes the curso in & out of the Linux window.

I am lucky in that I have
VPC for Apple: versions 4 5 & 6 to compare with and for Windows
I have 4, 4.x & 5, 5.x to compare with.

Microsoft are offering a $US15 upgrade if you have a licensed copy of VPC 4,5,6so I will avail them of the offer & will test out what other features are changing.

My conclusion at this time is that Microsoft may have begun a program of screwing Linux on VPC, with Apple ver 6 & Will do so in Windows VPC 6 as well.

The wording of the accusation was worthy of any good polititian :-)
