Except for VirtualPC working in "classic" mode (which I've never
seen because I don't have a copy of VirtualPC) all of those things
are truths, not rumors. (The Unix end of it will require source, of
course. You can just run a Sparc Solaris binary and expect it to
work.)

I would expect VirtualPC to work, of course, but I haven't seen it
happen.
