It's a bit off-topic, I'll keep it short. I tried this first of all,
with qemu-0.7.0. But it is slow to the point of being unusable. I was
very disappointed, I don't think the qemu people are putting much effort
in a fast qemu for PPC. And sadly, they seem to have given up on
usermode emulation on PPC.
OS X under MOL performs quite well, so I assumed running Virtual PC this
way could still be faster than running qemu - but it doesn't work.
