It's unrealistic to expect the math to be correct, when both Connectix
and MS have been quite upfront about the fact that VPC uses the Mac's
FPU, and the Mac's FPU does not calculate to the same level of accuracy
as Intel hardware (64bit Mac vs 80bit Intel).
Connectix/MS *could* attempt to emulate a more accurate FPU, but that
would result in a significant decrease in overall performance of the
product.
Seeing as how the most common complaint with VPC is "Why is it so
slow?", do you really expect them to spend significant dev cycles on
something that would make the product even slower?
Considering that the product continues to sell, and that (at least in
the Connectix days) most of those sales were upgrades, I'd have to
guess that it meets someone's needs.
