 I don't think that will happen for the same reasons why you don't see MOL
on Intel machines. They aren't emulating the CPU, they are emulating
Windows APIs, forwhich the code was compiled for Intel machines. To make
this work on PPC Linux, they would have to add another emulation layer
(like what Virtual PC does on MacOS).

Cheers,

Chris
