Listen to me wine

I imaginge Wine CAN build on PowerPC but there are safeties in the makefile to keep you from wasting your time because it won't run on PowerPC.  It's not an emulator, it's a compatability layer.  In other words, it provides the needed libraries hooks etc etc so windows x86 code can run on x86.  No x86 emulation is provided.

It's one of the FAQ points of Wine from what I remember.  

When MacIntosh moves to Intel chips next year, this may become a non-issue.

--- Quote from: WMD ---I'm using a different port of QEMU than that (same engine though) on my Powerbook...even at 1.5GHz, Windows 2000 is ungodly slow.  You can hit 100% CPU by dragging the mouse frantically across the screen. :o  I say, find a copy of Virtual PC.

Except Virtual PC is a :fu: MICROSOFT PRODUCT :fu:

For the program I want to run, a Lego model editor, win98 should be fine.

WMD:
The solution to that is to find a pre-MS copy of the program.  They bought it, after all.
