I deleted VPC last week from my system. Never expected another update on a dead product. This update still doesn't mention anything about speeding up the software, which was as slow as the pullout from Iraq.

Se la vie!

You can still buy it. It doesn't work on Intel Macs, but it's still potentially useful for those who have G3 through G5 Macs.
