Connectix Corporation was an American software and hardware company that was active in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The company was based in California and was known for developing and manufacturing a variety of computer-related products, including software and hardware for the Macintosh and Windows platforms. Connectix was particularly known for its virtualization software, called Virtual PC, which allowed users to run Windows and other PC-based operating systems on Macintosh computers. They also developed other software and hardware products such as the RAM Doubler, Speed Doubler and QuickCam, that were popular among Macintosh users. Connectix was considered to be a major player in the Macintosh software market but, as the market shifted towards Mac OS X, Connectix’s products became less popular and the company struggled to remain competitive. The company was eventually acquired by another firm, and its brand and technology were phased out.
