I've wondered the same thing about running Linux on iSeries and people seem
to like that.

As far as the emulation goes, isn't Windows' Hardware Abstraction Layer
similar to our MI, so that all you would need is a PowerPC version of HAL
(and of course, to address the GUI issue you pointed out)?

...If they ran it in emulation to keep software compatibility, the
performance would suffer to the point where it would not make ANY sense
for anyone to run it. Why pay $100000 to run Windows slower than you can on
a $500 box?...
