VMware Fusion

This is just some company putting a pretty gui around Bochs which is a freeware x86 emulator, see http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/bochs.html for more information and a OS X download of it. Everyone who has used Bochs that I know of complained that it is dog slow (makes VPC look like it's the fastest emulator on the planet) but it does work. A review...

P.S. As for VNC running VMWare over X as I am now is bassically equivalent. I also was not smart enough to be able to... ...

In my day job I have to support OS X, Linux and Windows. I used to do that with a 800Mhz Athlon running Linux and VMWare running Win98. O.K. ...

In all honesty, I would expect a Xeon to perform better, but these are even more expensive than Apple hardware. Obviously, I have to qualify the tasks these machines perform: mostly...
