Sure, it will works. But most won't work well. For example, a windows based 3-d engineering program like SolidWorks (www.solidworks.com) will run emulated . . . with a performance hit of ~50% ... and with graphics that look like hell.

Clearly, Apple want's to prop up the notion of Windows apps running well on the Mac OS. .. but that is just not the reality.
