Windows emulation on Mactels with Q

q emulation windowsThere's still no word as to whether Virtual PC will run on Intel Macs any time soon, but this Q project looks pretty promising. It was only a matter of time, since you'd think emulating Windows straight to the hardware would be easy, right? Yeah, well, probably not, but it'll at least be faster. Q is a Cocoa port of QEMU, but looks so much like VPC though I hope they don't get the legal smackdown. I'd still rather be able to emulate than have to dual-boot, so let's hope this, and the potential of a WINE port that really works on OS X could be just around the corner. Linux, Windows running in a virtualized environment, straight on the iron? Nice.
