I've got a client successfully running Business Client 8.5.1 under Parallels (xp pro) on a modestly specced Intel Imac. Just make sure you assign enough memory. Works better than a pc with Vista IMO.
the favourite for me, is 'Q'. named (i hope) after the mischivous john de-lancie character from star trek, the one that clicks his fingers and makes picard wear a dress.
with kqemu accelleration, qemu outperforms vmware and crossover for me and v8, and not only that, but the hard drive file it makes is deliciously portable to any platform that runs qemu, and thats, well...all of them.
i can run the exact same OS from the exact same machine running vista and XP.
PearPC!! Last time I tried PearPC it was sooooo sllllooooowwww. I take it it's a bit better now. I remember installing OSX 10.4 in PearPC on a P4 3.2 HT with 4gb RAM and it took about 1.5 hours.
I never got those Intel builds of OSX to run on my hardware properly (AMD SSE2) and screen resolutions were all to cock (nVidia) so just ended up buying a MacG5 and a MacBook instead. Having said that I did try running one of the 'Generic' Intel builds on a bog-standard Dell PC (mega cheap) with core-duo 2 processors and it ran ok!
I'll give Qemm a go with the accelerator extension thingy - sounds good.
