Where'd a Gw on Mac thread be without me.

Short answer, if you want to run GW on OSX. You will need a window emulator, wine. http://www.winehq.org/ It works, really well infact but I don't like it.

Second option would be bootcamp. http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html So basically you set aside some space on the HD then install window on it. After that your mac can dual-boot between OS and Win. Install GW on the window side and off you go.

I run GW on my Macbook Pro. I purchased VMware Fusion for design programs, but GW will not run on it. It does run perfectly fine via Bootcamp though.
