Are you one of the many who bought a MacBook or another Intel-based Mac? Then perhaps you are looking for a way to run Haiku on it. This is possible with VMware Fusion. Haiku currently doesn't support EFI motherboards, so you will not be able to dual-boot.

With Fusion you can run Haiku and other PC operating systems alongside Mac OS X, easily and without needing to reboot your computer. Fusion is still in beta, but VMware lets you buy it now for an introduction price of USD $40. Normal price will be USD $80. According to VMware the pre-order program is valid until the product is generally available. VMware currently plans to make VMware Fusion 1.0 generally available prior to the end of August 2007.

As you can see from the screenshot, you will get a working network connection and can download a few working applications with wget. On the other hand, Haiku is running in VESA mode (800x480, 16 Bits) and without audio capabilities.
