Virtualisation uses the computers own chip, so software like VMWare,
Virtual Box, and Parallels can only run Intel-based OSes and software.

Emulation translates the code from one chip to another, so software
like Sheepshaver, vMac Mini, Boycott / Boycott Advance, Power64, etc.
can run OSes and software from non-Intel systems.

Emulation is usually slower than virtualisation (obviously emulating an
old system like C64 on a brand new iMac is more than fast enough), but
virtulisation is also slower than running it natively (i.e. using Boot
Camp).
