| PearPC - PowerPC Architecture Emulator http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/ Did anybody try this? There are screenshots of running OSX on an x86 PC. http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html  |

| aren't there powerpc emulators for macos <9 out yet? I don't think a 740/750 emulated cpu with 10mhz will handle macosx. However, a very interesting project.

| Yes, there were 68k emulators available, which only worked with < 8.5 This looks like it honest to goodness emulates a G3 or even G4 though.

| According the the docs it emulates something like a G3, although he's working on Altivec. Obviously it's at a fairly early stage with a few bugs etc. but it's quite exciting stuff. And while this isn't maybe quite as useful, remember that it's an architecture emulator so you can run various BSDs and Linuxes too.

| There's also the question where this will lead. I don't see it leading to something similarly attractive like VirtualPC on the Mac (which - albeit slower than a real PC - enables you to run the occasional Windows application), but rather a proof of concept as well as a tool for playing around, effectively advertising the Mac to the Windows and Linux people.

| Do you really think that's a true picture of an X86 machine running OS X under emulation? It looks like it, but PS is pretty good nowdays. Also, wouldn't Quartz be a problem?
