It's been my experience that VPC is so slow as to be almost unusable for
real testing.  VMware on the PC performs very well, but obviously it cannot
emulate the Mac.  But it still has the advantage that you can install
multiple OSes on the same box in a sandbox environment.  I'd recommend
VMWare instead of VPC if you're going to be running on a native box.  And
I'd highly recommend the native box over VPC if you can afford it (let's
face it, prices on boxes have come down so much that they're rather
inexpensive for a decent box).
