I'm running it (well, trying to run it) and I can assure you that it do indeed work.
But it has some extreme speed issues so you cannot really use it yet.

... this reminds me... I want a Mac soon! =)

Pity its only emulated, I'd switch to OSX on a PC in a heartbeat.

Yeah, it has to emulate a PPC processor so I guess that's why it's so extreamly slow.
