Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Power PC

I upgraded my PowerBook G4--now my Microsoft Office which allowed me to use Windows software can't be accessed as it isn't supported by Classic. I can't load Windows because I don't have Intel. How and What can I get which will allow me to use Windows and Windows software?

Classic is not required to run VirtualPC, which is the only way you
could run Windows on a PowerPC Mac. I have no idea how well VirtualPC
will work with Mac OS X 10.5. I suggest posting your question in the
VirtualPC newsgroup.

Hope this helps!
