Hi all, I was wondering, is there any WINE-like program for running Mac apps on windows? I've got a few programs that have more features in the mac version than on the Windows or linux versions. I'd like to use them, but of course, I don't want to shell out for a mac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
NOTE: I can't be bothered downloading Mac OS Iso's and then burning them and using a virtual machine. Really. Anyway, these apps are quite CPU-consuming.

Short answer: No.
Side note: Downloading Mac OSX ISOs is illegal and therefore will not be discussed further on this forum.

You won't get around installing Mac OS though.
Runtime environments are a little less ressource-consuming than emulators.

PC's are good for gaming, but not so much for emulation. I love my PC for things like GMod, Crysis, etc etc but the problem I have is getting my old SNES and Megadrive games working. All the emulators I try I have issues with. Maybe I'm not dumping the cartridges properly, but I do follow the instructions. Apparently, the MAC version of SNES9x is much better and can handle things smoother because it uses a different algorithm which doesn't work on Windows or Linux.

I'm posting from my intel iMac and I love it. And I can play Worms under WinXP. :cool:
Well not right now as I don't have a copy right now. But I'll get around buying one soon enough. (Worms on Steam, pleaaaaseee! D:)

Steam's selling CounterStrike Source for $19.95 only. Is that cheap?
