Guest PC, as described by Lismore Software Systems, Ltd., is "another computer inside your Mac". While in simplicity this is true, Guest PC offers Mac users far more. Guest PC has received a few bad reviews along the way, however, version 1.4 makes up for many of the previous versions shortcomings. This review will discuss the features and highlight some of the improvements found in Guest PC 1.4.

I don't think that Wine will be ported to OS X so quickly, but it doesn't matter. The fact is that with the new x86 architecture, there is no more need for processor emmulation. You can now simply emmulate a virtual machine without translating the code. 80% performance is definitely going to be a reality - it'll be like running something on Virtual PC for Windows.
I think this will be Apple's biggest gain. People could dual-boot Windows or emmulate it without a performance penalty like they do now. That will definitely ease switching.
