iEmulator update with audio support and better VPC profile importing

iEmulator is a low-cost Windows emulator app with support for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 4.0, 2000 and XP. Even though it only made a small version bump to 1.7.8 today, a big and long-requested feature has been added: audio support. While that might be a bit laughable to owners of Virtual PC, iEmulator is pretty hard to beat at only $23.95. Apparently all you need to run iEmulator is at least a G3 that's running 10.3.0 or greater, although I'm sure the performance of emulating Windows on a machine like that won't be anything to write home about.

One big catch with iEmulator is that there's no demo – you'll have to throw down your $23.95 to get your hands on a copy. (To try and make up for this shortcoming, a few movies are available to demonstrate Windows and various applications running under iEmulator on a G5.) One upside to purchasing, however, is all future updates are free, so it might very well be a wash. I haven't picked up a copy as I'm one of those happy OS X users who refuses to touch Windows except at gunpoint, but if any of y'all TUAW readers out there have had experience with iEmulator (especially the latest version) please feel free to post your experience in the comments.
