If your looking at a pure emulation solution their is only Wine and CrossOver Mac, Wine is free and open source but what its not is user friendly! In my opinion CrossOver is a good choice if it supports the applications or games that you use on a daily basis. So until the fine folks at Apple Inc change their minds about virtualization xen is going to be out of the question.īut this solution isnt without its problems, their would still be the intigration problems and you would require a windows license. In my opinion the best virtualization solution would be xen but if you read the EULA in OS X it forbids virtualization. no not really, so I thought I would dig around and see what solutions were available at this time to run Windows applications on a x86 Mac.

The first thing I ask him was, is their a equivalent native application that will do the job for you? As I have always believed native applications and games are always the best solution in the end. A good friend asked me a couple days back what I thought was the best solution when it comes to running Windows applications on his new X86 Mac.
