[Ti] Windows compatable

[Alex]

YES! it truly is. The Linux guys have been doing it for a few years now
Look up wine on the net it stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator
As linux runs on Intel HW these guys figured that you could run a  
windoze app with just a skeleton showing the programs to the CPU, no  
Windoze.
As long as the programs are able to address the CPU as if Windoze was  
there, then they work like a charm.
Darwine was attempting to do this using the PPC processor and still  
is, but with Apple moving to Intel it ramps the easier to do it thing  
up quite a bit
As far as X11 goes, it is on the install disks for OSX tiger and for  
10.3 back can be downloaded here,
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/x11formacosx.html
X11 is a windowing technology for unix systems, it is technically  
elegant but not cosmetically beautiful.
It allows the user to start multiple processes on the local and  
remote servers in separate windows, its a cool tech with great geek  
factor
For the non geek all you need to know is that X11 will boot and  
within the X11 window the windoze program will run as if it were on a  
windoze PC, with no windoze!
It is way cool to see that happen under Linux and it will be WAY  
COOLER under OSX
This is not a pipe dream, it so on the cards you can smell it :-)

Huh? Is that truly possible? (Speaking as an ignoramus as far as X11  
is concerned ...)

I really would like to be enlightened about this.
