Update.
PearPC 0.3.1 is out. The emulated CPU has gotten MUCH faster - nearly 3 times as fast. It also now uses SDL to speed up the graphics somewhat; certainly less laggy for me. Also, they fixed the system timer - before, the clock ran too fast (20sec. = 1min.) and it would always report "0Mhz G3" in the About This Mac window. Now, on my 2.8Ghz P4, it reports different numbers each bootup, ranging from 791-875Mhz (though it runs much slower than a real G3 at that speed). I'd say I'm getting 200Mhz G3, or so. Oh, and it no longer uses CPU time while emulated CPU is idle, so I can run it all the time without my fans throttling up while I'm sleeping.
There appears to be a setting to allow ID'ing as a G4, but it crashes while booting for me.
Although still no easy networking for Windows, no USB, no sound, no AltiVec, etc., this is still a big improvement. I'm loving it!

No easy networking? It was a breeze for me to get it working.

I'm hoping PearPC will let a few PC people experiment with OS X, then come to the realization that they need the real thing.
Though my elitist side hopes Apple shuts this down come Tiger. OS X is a pleasure that doesn't need to be tainted by ignorant masses.

Good god. Hey, let's gas all the PC users while we're at it. A little genocide by the chose ones.
