No, I forget the exact technical reason but it is because the architecture is completely different and Mac wont allow anyone to emulate the bios so you cant even use something like VMWare. You could try BSD, it has alot in common with OS X. www.freebsd.org

Not sure that it is going to be exclusively 64 bit. The betas of it have been 32 bit. XP is available in 32 bit or 64 bit as well.

ME was better than 98 in many ways. Better for games at least. I found it at least as stable as 98. 2k and XP are ok, but they are severly bloated and the registry will still grind to a halt after a bit. The problem they've had is that they needed to continue supporting older programs and so they couldn't fix broken parts of the system without cutting off some older functionality.
