i routinely run windows and various linux distros in virtual machines on 
my intel macs (dual core macbook laptops and quad-core mac pro towers). 
at work all our development is on mac os x and we test our software 
deployment to gentoo vms. works perfectly.

we use parallels desktop (www.parallels.com) for the mac. vmware fusion 
(equivalent to vmware workstation) is in beta for mac os x and offers 
similar features.

note that you cannot run vmware "on the metal" and virtualize your os x 
installation. the vm guests can only be windows or linux.
