Favourite OS OS/2 Warp 4
It should be noted that right now QEMU is able to run every MacOS from 9.0.4 to 10.5 (except Rhapsody and two of the developer previews), as well as Solaris and SunOS for SPARC and UltraSPARC, and Linux and NetBSD for PowerPC, Sparc, UltraSPARC, and of course x86 and amd64. FreeAXP is able to run Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS for Alpha pretty well. SIMH is a mess to configure but can run Ultrix and VMS for VAS, while GXEmul (another mess to configure) can run Ultrix for MIPS.

Hm, I cannot agree. I generally found SimH one of the easier simulators to configure and use (easier than, say, MAME)... There's just no GUI for it

...I completely agree on GXEmul. It's also a pretty dead project, sadly, as there has been no significant update in years. Sad, it was a very promising framework...
There was also SimOS, a research project from Stanford that could emulate an SGI (Indy I think?) and run a slightly modified version of IRIX 5.3 on it. It's quite tricky to track down nowadays (a mirror is here, and the fact that it couldn't run stock IRIX makes it less interesting, but I thought I'd mention it anyways.
