Not a very good example. If you're a Mac user, you could undoubtedly
just get VirtualPC and do the same thing you're trying to with WINE (on
Unix/Linux, I presume?)

Even better, when VPC for OS X is officially released (I beleve there
is a public(?) beta now) you can run Unix, Windows, and Mac stuff
(Classic or OS X new stuff) all at the same time, no rebooting needed.
