*technically* possible, but you've got a MOUNTAIN of work to make it
happen. Look how long WINE has been at it (16 years) -- and it just
*barely* works at all.

On top of it, you have a serious issue with processing power. Though
similar in overall "horsepower", the emulation layer will seriously
suck you dry. There is nothing you can really do to achieve decent
performance levels, especially with graphic-intensive apps.

My third point, which is perhaps the most important, is that the world
really doesn't need such a thing. WINE has done a serious disservice
to UNIX. What it is, is an excuse that developers use against
developing their software for multiple platforms. See, you have all
the software developers that build their winjunk and say that if you
want to use it on unix/linux, use wine and you're on your own -- no
support. Then it either works poorly, or not at all, which (to those
users) makes unix/linux LOOK BAD and forcing them back to winjunk. We
don't need to have the same thing disturbing Android -- lazy
developers will build apple-only and the stuff will *barely* work on
Android, making Android *look* bad.
