Hm, where can I purchase it? Sounds like an interesting idea... esp. as video game are the only reason I would ever want windows. To all of the other Mac user out there btw... do you know how I can resupport the Classic environment (Purchase Mac OS 9 or something)?

Wine is free...like most of the Open Source movement. You can install Wine on OS X through MacPorts, although if you are using the 64bit version of Snow Leopard, you have to execute a few commands beforehand (but I don't think that applies to you).

I run Parallels on my Mac. Although it did cost me a couple hundred bucks to get it set up. It's nice to have both operating systems on one machine except my printer doesn't work on my windows side.
