A Quick Look At Mac-On-Linux

I didn't even know this project existed but it looks like you can run any MacOS app (not including MacOS X apps of course) on a PPC machine with it. I'm starting to wish I had a mac to try this stuff." Here are some more screenshots. I saw MoL demonstrated over a year ago (when OS X wasn't really an issue) and was amazed at how quickly it ran. Anyone out there using it on a day-to-day basis?

    There is no reason whatsoever to use macintosh computers.

    Linux workstations can do anything macs can do only better.

    EI 5 loaded in 6 seconds, bbedit loaded in under 2 seconds. Microsoft Entourage loaded in 18 seconds and once it did load it consumed 40 - 50% of CPU time. Not sure what the deal is with that.

    There it is! You now have MSIE 5 under linux. The mysterious hidden MS internet experience we all hear of (but no one can quite point to) can now be had under Linux. If it's like that dog for unix, it loads most of DOS with it. Linux to run Mac to run DOS, ahhhh! infinite regresion!
