I've never used SoftWindows, but Virtual PC works fine for me.

Virtual PC is the better option IMO, it provides better compatability for all PC software, and has far more features (share net connection, multiple PC's at once etc), is being more actively developed and supports G4's velocity engine

VirtualPC - the only one that I've ever used. Does a great job.
