WINE soon to be available for Intel Macs... run native MS Windows apps transparently in OSX.4.4? PING!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Just a note. I bought APPL at 13 3/8, a little over two years ago, and sold two weeks ago when it hit above $80. My final price was an average $82.57. I've noticed a downward trend, and wonder why it has settled back. If it falls again, I may pick some back up.

I don't know a lot about the stock market (though I just turned a profit of about 1400%+/-) and haven't seen enough to give me an answer. I sold just because it seemed time...

Could you [or someone] put this into English for the rest of us. What is WINE? What is VMWare? How are they related to the audio program when you follow the link. If I buy an INtel IMac, and want to run certain Windows programs, what would I do. Buy WINE whatever that is, from who. Or buy sometning else?? VMWARE??

Does this mean you could be running Tiger and just launch the Wundows application, eg, I need to run some specific law practice software which do not come in Mac versions.

I know this must sound so basic, but I cant decipher this discussion and it is important to my purcahse decision. I want to leave my PCs behind and buy several of the new INtel Imacs for my business. But I need to run some Windows programs. Would this mean I would not launce my xp on the new Mac? would not have to wait for tje launch of Vista? And, would they all [both my Mac and Windows apps] be available on my desktop without any distinction immediately?
