Running Windows on Mac is far more common than vice versa. Pear PC is
the only thing out there if you want to emulate OS X. SoftMac XPress
seems to do OS 9. I am sure there are more out there, for example this
past week "Cherry OS" has been a regular among the Mac discussion
sites, but some claim it is little more than vapor-ware (heck, I
couldn't access their site just now).
If yo are looking to doc the Mac interface or get screenshots, I don't
know if I'd rely on an emulator. Wired has a story from May
<http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,63456,00.html> where the Pear PC
people say "It is 'not meant for productive use,' the pair caution on
the site. 'Don't use it on important data, it WILL destroy them sooner
or later!'" That was for the 0.1 release. They are now at 0.3.1.
Reliable? Who knows.
If you need to do serious work, buy a refurbished or used iBook, iMac
or G4 desktop. There are many sources for a good deal.
