[Gllug] a MAC version of wine.

[Shannon Carver]

Hi,

We run a 100% Mac shop at work, on everyone's laptops/desktops (servers use
a more sane CentOS). Of course, I insist on running *nix on my Macbook
though (as well as a few of my guys as well), so we've occasionally
required access to Mac software for testing or compatibility with the rest
of the office.  I looked into finding a Mac/Wine replacement, but couldn't
so I've (on the odd occasion its required) run MacOSX in Virtualbox,
probably not exactly what you were after, but a decent alternative to dual
booting or buying a Macbook!

Quick word of warning though, I find OSX is enough of a memory hog when its
the only OS running on the machine (with my normal use on a 4GB MBP, it can
become awfully slow), it's pretty pitiful when run inside a Virtual machine!

Cheers

Shannon
