Mac OS X emulator for Windows XP?
Not quite sure if this is the right section, but you guys know lots of good stuff. Is there a good OS X emulator that I can put on my Windows XP system?
I have PC's and at work/lab they run everything on mac's. Due to program compatibility issues, it would be nice if I could run mac software on my PC so I can do work outside of work.
Google brings me a plethora of "free" and "paid" options but I don't know what to believe...
I'm rather computer illiterate and just know I like my pcs largely because I am more familiar with them.
Thanks for any help and suggestions!

bochs(1) The Bochs Project bochs(1) NAME
bochs - Portable x86 Emulator. SYNOPSIS
bochs [bochs_options] [bochsrc_options] DESCRIPTION
Bochs is a portable Intel Architecture 32 (x86) emulator that runs on most popular operating systems. Inside the emulator, it can run many operating systems including Linux and Microsoft(R) Windows(R). OPTIONS
When you run bochs without one of the following options, it will search for a configuration file called .bochsrc in the current directory and your home directory and display the start menu. -q With this option the start menu will be skipped after loading the configuration file. -f configfile This option specifies the name of the configuration file. -qf configfile When you run bochs with this option, it will skip the start menu and use the specified configuration file. -n With this option bochs doesn't load a configuration file. In that case the setup for the emulation must be done with bochsrc options on the command line or in the start menu. -h, --help Print a summary of the command line options for bochs and exit. You can override the settings from the configuration file with command line arguments, using the same syntax as the bochsrc file. If you have any spaces in your command line arguments, they should be enclosed in single quotes. For information on Bochs command line and configuration file arguments, see the man page bochsrc(5). Example: bochs -q 'boot:a' 'floppya: 1_44=a.img, status=inserted' LICENSE
