 From their website...

	*	Strong OS Support: A sophisticated virtual machine 
engine that offers the broadest support of x86-based operating 
systems, including:
	?	The entire Windows family - 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, Me, 
2000, XP and 2003
	?	Linux distributions from popular distributors like 
Red Hat, SuSE, Mandriva, Debian and Fedora Core
	?	FreeBSD
	?	"Legacy" operating systems like OS/2, eComStation and MS-DOS.

Wow!  The price is only $49.99.  This is the kind of thing that 
really makes me want an Intel based Mac!  With this I could replace 3 
systems with 1.  While not listed in the above blurb, Solaris 10/x86 
is also supported.  What would be interesting is to hear about 
peoples results with this product.

Now all that is needed is a Commercial classic Mac emulator, so those 
of us with classic Mac software can still run it.
