Well technically Virtual PC will do it, but it will run like molasses.

Just have a play with OSX. You never know, you may come to like it.

Why the hell did you get a mac if you don't like OS X?

Send me the powerbook and I'll send you a Toshiba laptop with windows XP on. (It has a touch screen too!)

Running Windows on my PowerBook would be comparable to puting a 10 year old lawn mower engine in Lamborghini... And then driving it into radioactive sludge and then pee on it.
