Guest PC is an emulator of the x86 PC for the Mac OS X platform. We had a quick look at the product and we compared it to VirtualPC 6.1 that we also happened to have in-house.

Eugenia mentions Qemu as an option at the end.
I tried the latest Mac version few days ago 0.63 here is what I noticed:
The env is really slow compared to MS virtual PC. Both had similar CPU usage patterns but Qemu took hours to install Windows XP.
After waiting for the installation for several hours. The setup rebooted the system to prepair for 1st boot. However it never loaded on Qemu (I ran out of patience and went to bed).
I will try the latest version when available.
P.S I used a 1 GHz ibook G4 with 512MB ram.
