Hmm... as a Mac has come into my possession lately, I have been trying hard to work my Windows applications using the following:
1. VirtualBox + Windows XP = failure! Seems to not like 3D graphics (instant crash)
2. Darwine (Mac OS port of Wine) = failure! Seems to be unable to save anything (so any installations fail when it tries to write a file); even the bundled notepad fails if you try to move the window or save a file or something
3. Bootcamp + Windows XP = haven't tried this yet, perhaps this is where I will have to go... although I would rather be able to run my Windows apps in OS X...
If you have any idea what is going wrong with Wine, that would be awesome
