Road to WINE travel-able, but filled with potholes...
Don't get overly excited by this Digg post , announcing WINE arrives for Intel Macs. If you actually follow the links through to the discussion thread where this story originates, you'll find that WINE is compiled and working, but not that well: "I warn you. There is nothing to get excited about.... What I mean by this is, while this does in fact run windows apps, it *doesn't* seem to be running things that I *know* worked with the stuff that was floating around last summer. Its perplexing as to why this is. "
To keep your eye on the situation, you should keep reading those boards and check regularly with the Darwine project.

that darwine project page rarely changes.
keep up with the thread. WINE on osx86 isnt exactly new - it was running on the DTKs last year (as well as on 'unofficial' hardware), but the upgrade from 10.4.1 to 10.4.3 broke it.
the new build reportedly doesnt even work as well as that build (which was okayish).
still, im sure things will improve...
