Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

Someone please help. I would like to install Microsoft Project which I received as part of a course I'm taking but it only seems to work on PCs. So, I dowloaded the free version of Virtual PC for Mac, but it didn't work (it looks like it's for updated). Where do I get a version to download that will help me.

Thanks

More info.

What hardware are you using? VPC for Mac only runs on PPC systems, not
on Intel. Intel Macs can use Parallels or Fusion to install a
virtualized version of a full commercial XP. Then you install Project
on that.

AFAIK, the install CDs were never available for any sort of trial or
on-line anywhere except pirate sites. If you got a real copy from eBay
or Craigslist it should come with install instructions. If you only
have the "software only" version of VPC for Mac, then you'll need to
supply your own copy of XP SP2.

There is no free version of Virtual PC for Mac. The updates are free
but that is the only thing you can download from Microsoft directly.
