New options are boot camp - from apple - all the graphical drivers are included. And parallels.com which is a vmware type solution - full speed but some driver issues.

also check out parallels, it's a near full-speed windows emulator inside OSX.

It's in beta right now, but it's rumored to be plenty good for poker.
