for the virtualization, the problem is the absence of the drivers for
most of the pc hardware.... unless you happen to have a pc with the
very few types of devices used in macs.
You don't need to proof anything to buy it, but consider that:
- it is expressly forbidden by the license to install on a non-Apple
assembled hardware
- you can't buy a cheap upgrade, but you need a full os install 10.5 +
the snow leopard upgrade (i.e. i think there is no full 10.6 on the
market)
- you can easily find used mac mini's, if the 500€ new one are out of budget
