*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.
