Actually, Yes. I have VPC 5 running on an Athlon 1000 on Windows XP. :)
I've been tinkering with Red Hat Linux 9 and Mandrake Linux 9 under it. It emulates at around the speed of a P2-300 or so on here.
Note: this is why MS purchased VPC: rumour has it that Longhorn (the next version of Windows, due in 2004-2005) is going to be pretty much a total rewrite, a la OS X (but of course this is MS they'll **ck it up) and VPC is to be included as the environment to run legacy applications, much like the Classic environment in OS X.
Emulators on PC's are also *very* useful for doing things like driver development. It's *much* easier on the hardware to develop on a 'PC' you can reboot with a mouseclick and a few seconds of time. This was, in fact, the impetus behind the open source bochs project <http://bochs.sourceforge.net/>
