 	I've run Win98, 2K, XP, Linux, and other versions of NetBSD under
 	Qemu in NetBSD. There are a few issues with Windows Update not
 	always working, but any of the apps I've tried have run fine (if
 	somewhat slower obviously). I've even run NetBSD under qemu under
 	NetBSD under qemu under NetBSD under qemu under NetBSD once, but
 	that not necessarily useful for anything :)

 	Neither Vista nor OS/X currently run under qemu due to ACPI issues
 	(this is a qemu, not a NetBSD issue), but hopefully that will get
 	fixed.

 	Additionally NetBSD has optional kernel support for running
 	binaries for some other operating systems directly:  Linux,
 	FreeBSD, Mac, Darwin, SCO, ISC, SVR4. Not all of these are
 	completely up to date, but certainly in the case of linux its
 	easy to install the suse100 packages from pkgsrc which add the
 	shared libraries and similar files needed to run most Linux
 	binaries. Its also possible to create a chroot area and build
 	linux binaries using the linux compiler on NetBSD/i386.
