| It used to be that running Windows programs on a Mac was a slow,
| painful process. There was only one option: running Virtual PC
| emulation software.
|
| oon there will be yet another option, which, unlike the current
| choices, doesn't even require a copy of Windows. A company calledC
| odeWeavers is using an open-source technology called Wine to allow
| some Windows programs to run under Mac OS X.
|
| [...]
|
| The move to the Mac is new, but CodeWeavers has been trying to find a
| commercial market for Wine technology for three or four years now. Its
| main product has been its CrossOver Office for Linux, which uses the
| Wine technology to run, among other programs, Microsoft Office. White
| said about 100,000 people use the CrossOver Office product.
