Yes, I was just remarking that the possibility is still there that a Windows OS can be loaded on a Mac system. Something which wasn't even consider possible not too many years ago. There was Mac and there was Windows. Nothing else for the home user. Now *in therory* it is possible to have all 3 on the same machine. Now I wonder what would be involved to getting a MacOS emulated on an x86 system. :-P Alot of thinking out loud. Not to be taken seriously.

ohh... the horror. Microsoft finally getting Windows on a Mac. Kinda makes those newbie questions as a tech. support "Can I upgrade my MacOS to Windows?" not so dumb anymore. Ick.

I don't see why you couldn't compile wine on a Mac. Assuming of course that the wine source is not too archetectural dependant on the x86 system.



The problem is that the programs are compiled for x86 so even if you had the APIs compiled for the MAC a windows program wouldn't run. You need to run an emulator.
