Windows app. on X ???

[transmigrator]

is it possible to run a windows chat app. on X.1 or X.2

i want to use QQ (possibly the best chat client, allowing you to send messages to pagers, cell phones, etc, along with the normal chats to online and offline users, full with colorful characters, and skins)

it is far better than any other chat program, and it is the main chat application used in china, but there is no mac version ......

anyone know what i can do to run this on my mac ?????


QQ has an english webpage @ www.tencent.com/english/

The only way is to get the commercial software "Connectix Virtual PC". This is expensive because it includes a licensed image of Windows. Make sure you get the latest version as anything before 5 will not run on OS X.

There are also open-source PC emulators such as Bochs, but you'll need to do a little fiddling to get this up to what you want, and of course a Windows license (assuming you do it legally).

You should definitely petition the creators of QQ to create a Mac version. Judging by their site, they seem to be up to the task.
