<p>CONNECTIX LAUNCHES VIRTUAL PC FOR MAC, Version 6.0 WITH FASTER PERFORMANCE<br />
FOR JAGUAR USERS</p>
<p>Available Now, Virtual PC 6.0, Delivers Speed-Enhanced, Powerful New<br />
Features and Benefits for OS X Users</p>
<p>SAN MATEO, CA -- December 19, 2002 -- Connectix, a leading provider of<br />
cross-platform compatibility software, today announced the immediate<br />
availability of Virtual PC=99 for Mac, version 6.0, a major new release of<br />
its widely-used and award-winning software solution that runs PC-based<br />
operating systems and applications on Macintosh computers. This newest<br />
generation of the company=92s flagship product delivers improved performance<br />
for Mac users running Mac OS X -- especially those using the latest version<br />
of Jaguar -- and is a "must have" product for anyone migrating to Mac OS X.</p>
<p>"Virtual PC for Mac, Version 6.0 makes it easier than ever for users to run<br />
and access Windows=AE applications and files, which greatly expands the<br />
capabilities of their Mac," said Kurt Schmucker, Vice President of Mac<br />
Products at Connectix. "A key feature puts Windows applications right in<br />
the Mac OS X Dock which brings the Mac-to-Windows integration to an<br />
entirely new level." Virtual PC 6.0 is a cost-effective way to allow Mac<br />
users to access PC-based opportunities otherwise unavailable, such as<br />
sharing Windows-based files from friends, family members, and business<br />
colleagues, as well as gaining access to Web sites restricted to PC users.</p>
<p>Better Integration and Improved Performance for Jaguar Users Those users<br />
running Virtual PC 6.0 on the latest version of Mac OS X (version 10.2.3)<br />
can experience up to 25% improved performance. Virtual PC 6.0 can launch<br />
Windows applications directly from the Mac OS X Dock, and can also display<br />
the Windows Start Menu on the Mac desktop. The newest release also provides<br />
Desktop Drive Mounting for backing-up Windows files more easily, and allows<br />
users to employ Mac OS tools like Sherlock to search for PC files. Because<br />
of the added speed, the improved integration between Mac and Windows, and<br />
the ease of use factor for Jaguar users, this latest Connectix release is<br />
essential for both existing Virtual PC users and those migrating to Mac OS<br />
X.</p>
<p>Virtual PC for Mac version 6.0 runs in both Mac OS X and Mac OS 9. Virtual<br />
PC 6.0 continues to allow users to run multiple versions of Windows on the<br />
same Mac, and change from one Windows operating system to another at the<br />
click of a mouse. New features include automatic detection of USB printers,<br />
full-screen video support for all Apple monitors, including the Apple<br />
Cinema HD Display 23, and self-contained configurations, which make it<br />
simpler to transfer virtual machines between Macs.</p>
<p>Virtual PC 6.0 Available Immediately<br />
Virtual PC 6.0 Upgrade (estimated street price of $99/USD) and Virtual PC<br />
6.0 with DOS (estimated street price of $129/USD) are both available now<br />
for download from the Connectix Web site (<a href="http://www.connectix.com" title="www.connectix.com">www.connectix.com</a>). Additional<br />
bundles of Virtual PC for Mac Version 6.0 will be available by the end of<br />
December at the Connectix online store, including Windows XP Home and<br />
Windows 98 (estimated street price of $219/USD each) and Windows 2000 and<br />
Windows XP Professional (estimated street price of $249/USD each). All will<br />
be available from Mac resellers worldwide, including Apple retail locations.</p>
<p>For customers who purchased Virtual PC for Mac, version 5.0, between<br />
November 1, 2002 and March 31, 2003, special pricing is available and<br />
details can be found at the Connectix Web site.</p>
<p>The Connectix OS Packs, a companion product to Virtual PC, come with<br />
Windows operating systems pre-installed and pre-configured, allowing users<br />
to add additional Windows operating systems without having to go through a<br />
complex installation process.</p>
