Nope, But you can install windows on your MAC, and run all windows programs on there.

Actually, yes there is. In future please actually do some research before you give a blatant wrong answer.

You can install and run Wine to use windows applications. All the information you need to know about it can be found here: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Google is also your friend when it comes to downloading it.

Wine works like a parallel Operating system, so you are not running it on MAC you run it on Wine

Now tell me, where did the .exe change?? NOWHERE...because you can't.

So your saying wine emulates another OS to allow windows programs to be run? You're either arrogant or just plane stupid, or both. You have no idea what wine does, but to help you learn i will explain it to you in the most simple terms so you're simple mind can process it.


Wine does not emulate another OS, all it does is requests resources and memory to allow an application to be run so the app never knows it's not running on windows it just translates requests.

If you actually looked in the link i posted in my previous post you would know this.
