This has changed recently.  SoftWindows 2.0 does '486 emulation.

Why do you value the ability to choose from a wide selection of
inferior software?  PowerMac native ClarisWorks blows the doors off
any other DOS/Windows program (with regards to speed, integration, and
ease-of-use.  Excel has some features CW spreadsheets lack; I haven't
had the need for those features, and do not anticipate having such a
need.)  All the rest are also-rans... Who cares how many inferior
selections are cluttering up the decision-space?
