WinOnX
By NES Software
Open Mac App Store to buy and download apps.
Description
Run your Windows applications on OSX without the need of buying a Windows license. Well, you even do not need to install Windows. Just download WinOnX and you are ready to go within 2 minutes.
PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING:
- WinOnX should only be used for applications which are not available for OSX. Whenever an application is available for OSX, we strongly recommend to use this version.
- In case your application does not work with WinOnX please drop us a note at http://winonx.com/feedback. We always try to improve the quality based upon your feedback.
- Currently full screen applications (especially games) are only limited supported. We are currently working on a version which will support both full screen for Snow Leopard as well as for Lion.
- WinOnX is based on the open source Wine project. It is a layer which redirects the communication between an application and Windows to OSX. As a result not all applications are fully compatible. Most applications run fine, some run even faster but also some run slower or even crash.
You can look at http://appdb.winehq.org/ to get some information how good your application might work with WinOnX which is an ongoing project. In case your Windows application does not work at the moment, there is a good chance that it will work after one of the next updates.

Works for Simple apps.
I installed one application with no issues, it was a simple non-graphic intensive program. The second I tried, seemed to need some additional Microsoft Data Access Components, as the app crashed upon boot and stated it needed the files. I tried to install the MDAC 2.8 code and it would load onto the wine system. If they were able to improve the system, it has potential. I'll used it for the application that installed correctly.
Ah Crap…Screwed Again!!
I should have just bought some Lotto Tickets and I would not have felt as bad now :(
I just wanted to be able to run tiny little Keygen "EXE" files that I am too afraid to run on my PC but it was NOT capable of that !!
Waste of time and money.
Do not bother purchasing this application. You are better off taking a $5 bil and lighting it on fire.
