I haven't checked on crossplatform as I only do this in linux.  I am 
currently playing with Virtualbox but have used VMware player (I DO know 
that VMware player is available for windows too so you could run windows 
or linux inside it - but getting a transparent proxy setup in a windows 
VM is not in my toolbox.  It's fairly easy and part of the distro in linux.)

I have more than enough CPU (it's an i7) and loads of RAM and HDD space 
so I'm not concerned about that, certainly not for browsing.  I'm using 
Damn Small Linux as my starting point in the VM - it only about 1GB in 
size.  As for an emulator...actually I don't have experience beyond Wine 
(not appropriate) and a little of Dosbox (also not appropriate).
