    Look at PearPC. You need serious power to run it though.

    PearPC is just a PowerPC emulator, so you will need to get a copy of the MacOSX install CD and convert it to a bootable image before you would be able to install it on your virtual PC, plus it is rather slow without a seriously powerful machine.

    If you just want to run the older MacOS (say v8), then Basilisk will do that for you but you will need to get copies of he MacOS install discs and a Mac ROM file.

    On that note, Apple released OS versions up to 7.5 to the public.

    Yea, if you find versions that run on OS 7! Basilisk can run OS 8.1 also, but you will have to get your mits on a copy elsewhere as it is not free like 7.1.
