It wasn't supporting multiple virtual Macs when I saw the demo(march?April?I forget) but that was a feature that they said they would probably be adding so it probably does by now. If they put support in for multiple virtual Macs like they discussed it would indeed bring protected preemptive multitasking to the Mac (if ever available to the market). The MacMach has been released to the campus at CMU and installation stuff can be downloaded from a Mac Server on campus. I would download it myself but I lack two things : an EtherNet connection and a large enough hard drive. :-( MacMach has some serious potential. I hope it makes it to market. Ed
