I tied it out. It seems to work fine. It does not have the ability to
have the windows applications running in their own windows inside the
Mac like Parallels and Fusion do. Rather you have a separate window
with the standard Windows desktop.
I'm not really able to evaluate performance as I am running it on a
Mac Pro which is fast anyway.
One thing Q will do that other do not is run under PowerPC Mac. It
also support a whole range of really technical performance settings,
like which kind of sound and video card the program should emulate, if
you are into that kind of thing.
As with Fusion and Parallels you will need a Windows screen reader on
the windows side of things. NVDA worked fine for me.

Here are a couple of VoiceOver accessible program I found which
some you you might be interested in. Both are free.
xPad - a simple word processor/note pad that automatically saves
your work. very handy. http://getxpad.com/
Q - This is a free open source program that does what Parallels or
Fusion does. Has almost all the same features including file
sharing and so on. It's Free and will run on a PowerPC Mac, all be
it slowly. Don't know about performance but it free so it is worth
a try. http://www.macupdate.com/download.php/20830/Q-0.8.1a35.dmg
