VirtualBox is really nice. I see it becoming more like VMWare in the future. I hope they develop something that can be compared to the ESX version of VMware. PowerPC is almost dead with exception of the server level. IBM will eventually start to take Power away from PowerPC or make the instruction sets so different that you'd be running in a crippled mode to use PowerPC instructions on POWER or pSeries machines. As nice as PowerPC was, it will likely never reappear on the Desktop and definitely not on laptops. Yeah. VirtualBox is really nice. I see it becoming more like VMWare in the future.

A Google search leads to a website listing all the emulatiom projects and there are some on that will work on a powerpc. But, the others seem to lack the polish of VirtualBox. Joel: I see.

Can it run MS-DOS too? My biggest disappointment with all these software (VMware, Parrallels, and VirtualBox) is that for Mac's, a intel based processor is required. Could they not figure out how to make it work on a powerpc processor? Thats sweet!!! Can it run MS-DOS too?
