Im not sure if this is what yer talking about. But I tried a thing called
"crossover" by Codeweavers. I had a virginal copy of Office 2003 and I didnt
wanna install all of windowsxp. Well it worked. I dint have to use parallel
or fusion, none of that jazz. But I had trouble with the clipart in Word.
Eventually I just said hellwithit and bought iWorks. Which seems to be a good
suite. I am a little miffed that Mac is so 'tight' with applications. BUT im
tryng to learn this mac thing. Im tired of going to the Task manager and
killing apps to unfreeze screen.

I've just upgraded from an iBook to a MacBook. I'm impressed. It is faster
and more versatile. And whereas running a Windows emulation using Virtual PC
on the iBook was so slow as to be useless for anything apart from elementary
word processing, the MacBook can run Windows faster than my IBM Thinkpad.
However, one thing you can do on an IBM PC is to use software called "DVD
Region Free" to play region 1 DVDs when you live in Region 2 and vice versa.
For some reason this doesn't seem to function on a MacBook. If you want to
play a DVD in Windows the performance is better if you reboot via BootCamp
into Windows rather than use an emulator such as Fusion, and you can play a
DVD from your own region, but if you try to play a DVD from outside your
region - well, my experience is that nothing happens, no error message, it
just doesn't play.
Has anyone found a way of playing DVDs from outside your region, on a Mac,
either using the Mac OS or Windows? Has anyone for instance had better luck
with Nero or WinDVD than I've had with PowerDVD?
