Microsoft shelves its Virtual PC for Mac | Tech News on ZDNet

More details on Mac Virtual PC -- I assume the PowerPC version will continue to be supported; Microsoft won't create a Mac Intel version, however. 

"The (Macintosh business unit) still recognizes that customers need access to Windows applications from their Intel-based Macs and feels confident that alternative solutions offered by Apple and other vendors, combined with a fully packaged retail copy of Windows will satisfy this need," the company said.

this makes sense - given that parallels already provides this functionality, and VMware now has a virtualization client for Mac, WINE lets you run Windows apps on Mac without XP, and Leopard will support multiple virtual OS's there really is no point to Microsoft developing VPC any longer.
