No. It'll be shit, and you won't be able to get any software for it. Get a Sony Vaio instead.

Actually, yes. 
Well, a Pro. Testing it for work. If you're using OS X, my f*** its fast compared to a G4. Windows runs fairly OK on it too actually, webcam and remote doesn't IIRC but I only used Windows for a few minutes.
PowerPC apps still run well enough, similar to how they would on a ~1.4 G4; but the native x86 apps run a hell of a lot faster.
It actually makes OS X usable, lack of apps aside.

Its a nice, shiney, bloody expensive machine to run Windows on. A Vaio would be cheaper.
If you want to run OS X, however, its worth it. I won't go in to why I wouldn't run OS X though
