The VMware software is not an emulator and instead a virtual machine monitor for the x86 architecture. Therefore, VMware products will not run on PowerPC driven machines. By design we offer a level of performance which is not possible with emulators; therefore, to run VMware on non-x86 processors the software would need to be ported. This would cause a signifigant degradation in performance on such host machines.
