[Gllug] a MAC version of wine.

[Jason Content]

Just thinking about your comment on the mac running like a dog on a mbp. I've had that before with 10.6.8. I applied the 10.6.8 combo update and it was like getting a brand new mac after that update. Have you tried doing that? Apple and their software update when it comes to the os update I think it misses stuff out or silently fails on certain hardware. When applying it through downloading the update manually from www.apple.com/support, and installing it manually it must do it correctly.

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!
