Wine being ported to the Intel Mac

For those of you unfamiliar with Wine, it is a piece of software that has been under development for many years on linux and it seeks to run windows applications natively within X-windows. It allows you to run Office XP (not sure about 2003) but does not work with applications like Access. It is essentially a half-implementation of windows within unix / linux based systems. I wouldnt recommend it if you need things to work as they do in Windows. The intel processor is supposed to have virtualization technology built in which eliminates the real need for software like Darwine (Wine). I still applaud their progress however.
