Using Wine on a Mac to run Windows programs

After Apple released Boot Camp earlier this year there was a new company called Parallels that release software to let your run XP in a virtual environment on your Mac. Now, CodeWeavers is using Wine to allow some windows programs to run under Mac OS X.
CodeWeavers has been around in the Linux community for quite a while so this an interesting branch.
Crossover Office for Mac should be available in July or August. Because Wine is a compatibility layer it doesn't require the user purchase Windows which is a nice savings and should help the adoption of this software.
