Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: NO

on top of Bochs will only turn the speed from slow to 'glacial', due to the extra layer of emulation needed... although I hardly see the need for Wine since it's an emulation layer for x86 Linux to run Windows apps...
Virtual PC is a few magnitudes better than this application... save yourself the time and effort and buy that instead... you'll only be disappointed if you buy this one expecting anything resembling 'adequate' performance.

Adding Wine... - Quobobo

I think you're very much mistaken. Wine implements the same calls that Windows does, which means that it's not emulating anything (WINE Is Not an Emulator); it's running applications, just like Windows does. Sometimes Wine is even faster than Windows, sometimes it's slower, but it's not at all what you're calling it.
