WINE for Intel-based Macs appears: Allows running of Windows programs

As reported by the OSx86 Project, a group of developers have released a version of the WINE compatibility layer for the Intel version of Mac OS X. The WINE layer allows Windows applications to run on Unix systems such as Mac OS X.

The report reads:

"Although fully functional on developers releases of OS X for Intel, the WINE compatibility layer, which allows Windows programs to run on *nix systems including OS X, was not available for the public release of 10.4.4. However, thanks to the hard work of the folks at Darwine and their contributors, it appears this barrier has been broken! Find out how to compile WINE and view screenshots in our forum."
