In case you don't know what it is, it's a emulation software that allows you
to run Windows programs on a Mac with out MS Windows.

I would imagine the latency issues would be massive. I'd just dual boot it
with XP if it's an Intel Mac.

If it's an Intel-based Mac, check out Parallels.

http://www.parallels.com

Most of my team at Xerox has gone to MacBook Pro computers running Parallels
and it is fantastic. Ihave created virtual machines of Win 2k, XP, Vista
Home, Vista Ultimate and SuSe Linux.

Things can get a bit slow when running 3 or 4 VMs simultaneously.

Most of us have OS X and XP running side-by-side on dual monitors and it
really is the best of both worlds.

However, I can't comment on running Windows audio apps in this configuration
as I haven't tried. It does, however, run our Windows VPN software with no
problems whatsoever.

Hope this helps!

Man, Boot-Camp is working fine. XP Pro flies and since it's not an emulator,
driver issues are not a problem..
