Not to pick nits, but I _have_ run Mac binaries on a 
Microsoft Windows box with the proper emulator.

Executor: A Macintosh emulator for the PC.
Has both Windows and Linux versions.

Likewise there is an emulation library available 
to run Sco binaries on Linux.  This is actually 
much simpler, since the processors are the same, 
and the only real difference is the libraries, 
executable file format, and the system call 
interface.  Still quite a bit, but very doable.
And done actually.  You do need to be sure 
that you have support for Misc Binary formats 
compiled in your kernel I think.
