Can Visio be used on iMac G5?

[NPS]

I am considering buying iMac G5 for personal home use. One of the things
holding me back is whether or not I could use MS Office including Visio 2003
in iMac G5.

I was informed by an Apple store Associate that there is a "virtual XP Pro"
operating system for iMac G5; it enables one to use MS Office and other
applications on G5 as on a PC. Would this permit using Visio 2003 on iMac
G5?

Thanks

I think the primary concern would be the performance of Visio on an emulated
system. Visio is fairly resource intensive - much more so than Word or
Excel. I'm not aware of other roadblocks.
