I am the one running the combination below on my Orion and it works quite well. I have been playing with it for about a week, so I don't know all the ins and outs of it. My problems with the above set up has been with trying to transfer the flash updates for the Orion, which I have posted elsewhere.

I initially had some problems with VPC and had to load it three times before it became stable. I also think that there may be some programs that don't run so well on it.

Hope this helps

I have one person that is using my N4PY Orion Control Program ( a windows
program) and is running on a Mac G5 with Tiger and Virtual PC 7.02 w/
Windows XP, and Keyspan to an Orion.
