I doubt I could've ever ran a virtual machine on an old 1 gig with 256 megs of ram so that 98 and Linux could've coexisted on the same machine running at the same time. I don't know that the double talk PC card would've shared to be accessible from the virtual environment so I'd have speech.

Can this actually run OSX under a Windows XP host?

No, not at all.

The idea seems like an inexpensive way to try it out.

Were that it was that simple.  Virtual PC allows a G5 to emulate a
Pentium chip in software.  The prior attempts, Cherry PC et al., to
allow a P4 to emulate a G3 were pathetic.  This is one reason why the
switch to Intel surprised many people, myself included.

I wonder what people are using the 2000 under XP solution
for as I see no benefit to that at all.

I am a little unclear myself.  But it would, for example, allow a
developer to test an application on both environments with a single PC
without dual booting and partitions.
