RealPC is a Macintosh program that emulates an x86 PC, allowing the use of PC-DOS, Windows 2000, Windows 95, and Windows 98. This software limits on which operating system you can use. If you try to install Linux, Windows Me, Windows XP or MS-DOS, it will stop the emulation and ask you to re-install the program.
RealPC was discontinued in 2003.
