Run Windows on your Intel Mac in OS X

why not make os x run on a pc machine now?
that would be better than getting Windows on a MAC!

or has this been done already..

All I want is to be able to run Half Life 2 (and, of course, Counter Strike, and mods with HL2). That's the only reason that fat, ugly Dell monster hasn't been tossed out the window yet - if I could get HL2 going, then I'd be happy.

What if you had a version of XP installed on an external hard drive, formatted on a PC, with games etc on it - would that make it easier to boot from XP, rather than having a partition and so on? Excuse my total ignorance in all of this...

Q is nice, but what I'm wiating for is the OS X version of CrossOver Office.

Great to see people giving muffins the props that they deserve...

The desktop wallpaper is called "Freebebot" and I got it from the always essential PixelGirlPresents:

Give her some props if you grab the wallpaper.

I am running Windows 2000 on my Dual G5 using Q. It is not fast, but it is great for checking websites in Windows.

Not as interesting as VMWare though who are supposedly quite close.

yeah I definitely love your wallpaper, please to link

Q is looking promising, but still has a few bugs to get out before normal users will want to look at it. The biggie right now is some sort of memory error that I believe is messing up XP activation, most Microsoft installers, etc. However, this is *definitely* one of the most interesting programs out there to watch.

When they get virtualisation working this project will be really good. Until then it's just interesting. In the coming months there will be one windows program I want to run. It may work with Darwine, if not then I will seriously look at Q. I certainly don't want to dual-boot for the sake of a single application.

make sure you follow every step outlined in the article.
especially the part about the muffins. that's probably the most important step.
