Hardware acceleration will appear for sure and it's also worth mentioning
that hardware virtualization is already available, which means, amongst
other things, concurrent OS with none of the slow-down that comes with
hardware virtualization. Parallels, in fact, already supports it and just
needs for the host processor to support it.
And I don't believe for a minute that no-one's working on getting a Mac OS
onto a standard PC, never mind how hard it might be, partly at least because
when the virtualisation revolution comes everyone will want guest Mac on
their PC hardware, no doubt about it.
