Now if you want to see a kludge, albeit an interesting one, check out pearpc on the windoze platform. It is a ppc emulator which will run OS X, and only 40 times slower than the processor in your PC. You have to admire the programming, if not the speed.
I take that to be an example of the inherent superiority of the PPC architecture; Intel emulators on PPC systems are nowhere near 40x as slow as the parent processor, even ones like bochs which are pure processor emulators.
In actuality PPC processors should be *easier* to emulate than Intel ones. Risc vs Cisc and all that...
