Installing Windows Programs On Mac

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011 at 10:21 am

Apple Mac’s in their various flavours are the the staple choice of many Internet marketers. However one problem that many Mac users face is the inability to run Windows programs on the Mac platform. don’t get me wrong you do have options for example parallels and VM Ware, but then you still need to have a licensed copy of Microsoft windows and this all costs money. The good news is there is another option and it’s free, but it is a little bit complicated to set up. You may or may not have heard of WINE but it’s an application for any Mac using an Intel processor which will allow you to run Windows programs on the Mac platform. I found this great video on you tube that takes you through all of the necessary steps for installing WINE and if you’re a frustrated Mac user who wants to use Internet marketing software developed for PCs, then you’re in for a right treat!

Watch the video below and you’ll be running Windows programs on your Mac within an hour!

The advantage of using wine over parallels and VM Ware as well is that you don’t need to have a Windows license and it will run software much better than running in a virtual environment. This is great news for all of you people who want to get hold of the software that I develop, but may have been put off by the expense of parallels or VM Ware and also the added requirement of getting a Windows license.

so take the plunge and start running native Windows programs on your Mac.
