Run windows on a power mac G4

No and yes. You can't run windows on a Power PC Mac. There's some Virtual PC software from ages back that emulates the x86 processor architecture necessary, but it never really worked well. I have it and I'll give it away, but it's not worth the effort. The newer versions require a minimum 1 GHz processor, anyway. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vir...

You neglected to mention the possibility of a multi-boot, it doesn't have to be virtualization.

rab: you can't boot a g4 into windows. This is emulation, not virtualization, anyway.

Virtual PC 7 (I think the last version, company was purchased by m$) did run on PPC machine, however it was win95/ME/XP. It ran stable, but there were some things (particularly games) that didn't run or the hardware peripherals wouldn't be recognized.

Maybe you could find it online (ebay or Craigslist)

rab if you're going to use this as a reference, how about negating the downvote you gave me on it ;-)
