Lismore Software is currently porting Blue Label, a cheap PC emulator to Mac OS X.

The current version runs only in Mac OS 9 and does not support Windows 2000/XP, only 95/98/NT4. It is $35 and comes with DOS preinstalled. The OS 9 version wasn't as fast as VPC, but much, much faster than Bochs.

Let's hope Blue Label for OS X will really be released, unlike RealPC for OS X...

I can't see a whole lot of value in emulating DOS... Even the PC world has moved on from DOS now.

But you can run Windows 98 SE, which is roughly what 45%+ of Windows users use.

Yeah, and practically all Windows apps still run in Windows 98SE, including brand new ones like Macromedia Studio MX 2004.
