I’d heard of the free application WineBottler, but never got around to taking a look at it. Over at appstorm.net, Joshua Johnson has a fast explanation/tutorial on how to use WineBottler to run single Windows applications on your Mac (Internet Explorer would come to to mind if you are a web developer) without having to install Parallels or Bootcamp, etc. It can be sluggish but using it looks a lot more straightforward than I would have thought. Update: I’m sure WineBottler runs Windows applications very well for some people but I just spent a couple of hours trying to get an application that requires Windows to run on my Mac, and it never would. I may try later and I’ll give a further reported that time but for now I cannot report success on at least one try with WineBottler.
