Apple and Linux are engaged in battle a battle to win over disgruntled Windows users. But who will win, and what will the consequences be for the loser? The most commonly held belief amongst Apple and Linux fanboys is that both factions are engaged in some kind of a war with Microsoft. The truth is that if you look at the market share figure for Windows, Mac and Linux, both Mac OS and all the Linux distros that have ever been released are dwarfed by Windows.

Yeah, actually i didn't buy a dozen virtualization Products to see if one of them might run those.
None of them has them in their "working apps" list though and Win4Lin doesn't even support OpenGL which is required for those apps.
Now "contacting a Wine and Windows emulation expert" is a really funny thing to say. You mean like, pay them 10000$ to modify Wine to run my software? Or do you mean like "hey they can't know it doesn't run". If you mean the first one, i don't have that kind of money and quite obviously just buying a Mac would be a better solution. If you mean the second, then i guess i should tell you that i'm the AppDB maintainer of two of those Apps... the amount of Wine developers is rather small and everyone wants them to get their favorite app to work.
