Will Final Cut Pro X run on a PC?

I'm looking at getting a new computer, a PC, would you happen to know if I can still use FCPX on this machine?  If so, is there any reduction in performance?

Final Cut Pro will not run on Windows. The new Final Cut Pro
is built on technologies exclusive to Apple's MacOS operating
system. If you're committed to editing on a Windows machine,
alternatives — like Premiere and Avid Media Composer will.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

True  +1 

Now what is interesting is that Premier will run on both, but is it stronger on a PC than Mac?  I'm a FCPX user myself.  I found this thought interesting as I almost went with Premier.

Couldn't it run on an emulation program installed on a PC though?

Apparently MacOS will run as a guest under Windows. Googling comes up with a number of hits.

It might perform reasonably well on a beefy system.
