OSx86 Project – Running Windows Programs in OSx86
By adapting the Wine compatibility layer for Windows, some enterprising developers have developed a method to run Windows programs under OS X for Intel.
While porting Wine to OSx86 requires some serious tweaking (which still results in some unstable programs), work such as this opens a wide range of possibilities for the future. Since future versions of OS X will be built on the same Intel processors that Windows programs use, will we one day be able to use Windows apps as if they were native to OS X? More intriguingly, might we be able to boot Windows itself from OS X?
I can’t find the post where I had a converstaion with Jared about this but I still can’t wait to see what OSX86 will be able to do in the near future (year +). Notice I said OSX86 and not OSXintel.
