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.no need to install windows or a virtual machine.

please note:

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.

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.

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.
