Codeweaver's Crossover to support Intel Macs

[Applespider]

CodeWeavers Inc. on Wednesday announced plans to support Intel-based Macs. CodeWeavers makes CrossOver and CrossOver Office. The software allows Linux users to use software designed to work on Windows operating systems without needing to have Windows installed. What’s more, CodeWeavers offers custom software porting services based on CrossOver.

Will this mean the end of VPC? Or the end of some Mac development if Windows apps really can be run natively using Crossover? Having never used it on Linux, I've no idea how well things run under it - but the article below mentions games etc being playable through it.

VPC exists for Windows too (for running Windows inside of Windows). So I doubt VPC will be ended for the Macintosh (it will get significantly faster however).
