Product Description:
WinTel allows host operating systems (and applications) such as Microsoft Windows(R) to run in a protected, virtual environment in a window on Mac OS X. Now with the included "Qemu", the instructions may be dynamically translated, drastically enhancing performance, especially, on the Intel(R) Macintoshes over our previous versions based on "Bochs".
What's new in this version:
- Installation of Microsoft(R) Windows and Windows Update may now be performed with the "Dynamic Translation" (Qemu) option, which is now capable of installing Windows XP Professional in about 45 minutes on the Intel 2.0 GHz-Duo iMac.
- Resolves a potential issue using the CD-ROM with Microsoft(R) Windows
- Resolves a potential issue with Soundblaster(R) support
- Overall increased performance and stability.

Don't bother buying this crap. I did, and even after two 20 hour attempts to install Win XP, it doesn't work. And both WinTel's UI as well as their so called tutorials are not even a joke.
Instead, just go here http://www.beatnikpad.com/archives/2006/03/20/windows-mac-q and after 50 Minutes XP runs without problems and with a decent UI.

This is basically Bochs (http://bochs.sourceforge.net/), an open-source and free x86 emulator. Therefore WinTel is just a lousy GUI from someone who wants to make quick $$$ from people that do not know that this tool is actually free.
On Intel Macs this does not even run natively (like VMWare).
Just a warning.

For a good laugh, check out the "Installation Instructions" on their site that uses screenshots from a different version than the one they're selling. Very professional...this developer's site should have a countdown clock representing the small amount of time left before he goes out of business.
