From what I hear, you will be able to. Apple isn't going to try to prevent you from installing other operating systems on their hardware, but they will try to prevent their operating system from being installed on non-apple hardware.

Virtua PC, on my work PC i have Virtual PC, Orig OS is XP, then i have virtual PC with 2 more os's 98 for some programs and Win 3.1 on the other part of the computer..... works great, govt jobs like mine use it alot. And when i get a hold of a mac, ill have virtual PC on it for my few applications i use only in windows.

Runs about $90 if u have your own CD Key and ver of Windows or another OS...or $229 with winXP included.
