Which Windows XP hosted virtual machine can I use for OS X guests?

Which Windows XP hosted virtual machine can I use for OS X guests? I´m a java developer and my current notebook runs WinXP. I want to buy a MacBook, maybe an AirBook. But before i buy a expensive machine, I need to know if all my needs (both professional and personal) and desires will be met. So, are there any winxp hosted virtual machine to use with OS X as guest?

"I am not aware of any legal way to run Mac OS X in a Virtual Machine to the exception of running Mac OS X Server in VMWare Fusion (already a Mac product). So you won't really be able to try Mac OS X before you buy.

However, to help with dissipate your doubts about having all you need:

You can always run Windows Natively on your Mac using Bootcamp. It's a dual boot solution but it works really well. So if you don't like Mac OS X you don't have to throw anything away.
There are three Virtual Machine package you can use in Mac OS X to be able to run Windows applications side by side with Mac application. In order of preference (totally in my Opinion) VMWare Fusion, Parallels Desktop for Mac and VirtualBox. The first two have very good OSX integration."

You cannot host OS X in a virtual machine, except using VMWare fusion under OS X, using OS X Server as a guest.
