PearPC - the open souce PowerPC emulator

[lagitus]

The first working PowerPC emulator has come! Now it is finally possible to run Mac OS X on a PC! Unfortunately the speed is rather sluggish but it is still a very nice toy!

Another interesting project that could eventually lead to running OS X on a PC at near-native speeds can be found here:

...How sluggish?

Personally, I'd LOVE to see this come into its own. I enjoy providing support on Macs, be it with Linux or Mac OS, and I'd really like to have the ability to run Mac OS X on my Barton 2500.

I'm curious-- Think it'll run faster than my current OS X machine-- a 300mhz G3 accellerated Power Mac 8500 with 400MB of RAM?

"...How sluggish?"

Right now its about 500x slower on x86 h/w. Theres a good article about this @ http://osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=6994
