Windows Emulator For Macintosh?

Posted by Cliff on from the who-threw-this-apple-into-the-window? dept.

kossico asks: "For any Mac users that have needed to run Windows(tm) applications, Virtual PC has probably helped them a lot. Does anyone know of any free/opensource projects that attempt this on Mac a la Wine? If not, who wants to start one?"

    On a Mac, you need more than just a Windows emulator (which Wine Is Not). Since the Mac OS runs on m68k/PPC, an i386 processor emulator is also needed to get the binaries to actually run.

    Of course, I imagine you could use Wine as-is on the Intel port of Darwin.
