Hard on the heels of the successful installation of Windows XP on an Intel iMac comes this new project called Q. You create a virtual drive on your Intel Mac and install Windows (or hopefully whatever flavor of Linux you want) on it. Start it up and you've got Windows in a window. Yes, this is basically Virtual PC, but open-source and free. Apparently they are working on "virtualization mode," which would run the programs directly with the Intel CPU and not require any emulation. But even without that it reportedly runs pretty well.
This guy posted a brief description of Q and how to set it up. Sounds like I'll have to give that a shot if/when I get a MacBook Pro.
