The idea is to run a virtual pc inside a host computer. This means it has to use the drivers and system hardware of that computer. Windows and software did not design this or think about it when creating their programs. MojoPac is able to create this virtual environment, and amazingly does it quite well. I have tried many other virtual pc but this one is the best and it is FREE!I have only had a couple software not run correctly (CS3 and my webcam), however I am currently using over 50 mainstream programs. This solution is not meant to be a desktop replacement. I will admit another annoyance is its inability to save passwords in Dreamweaver and Outlook, but it will remember them until I log off Mojo. This is probably good for security reasons, and like with most of the bugs in Mojo, due to the Software. The forum allows for us to discuss these bugs and offer suggestions and work around. This may not be easy for those who are not computer savvy, but open source has always worked this way.

The biggest problem with MojoPac is all the applications, etc. that it DOESN'T run, despite its claims. Like the ability to sync with PDAs, including Blackberry; or run software such as QuickBooks, just to name two from personal experience. And if you visit the Forum pages, you'll see lots more. The worst part is, not that it didn't run everything perfectly at inception; but that nearly three years later, these major issues have not been fixed! There's all kinds of little tweaks in the updates; but never anything addressing these major drawbacks. Does anyone reviewing MojoPac ever review the Forum pages on the website?
