Has anyone ever tried to use DBPro with WINE or CrossOver or something here?

I hope you have the blessing of that Fruity Company to run your own software on "their" machine...it might shut down or explode if you don't!

I haven't used WINE or CrossOver but I have installed XP and 7 on my Mac using Bootcamp to create multiple booting points. At that point it's basically the same as using any Windows running machine. The only downside is you can't control the fan speed on the Windows side as easily so if you have a metal body Mac it can feel very hot. There are ways around the fan stuff though.

Go ahead. Walk into Mordor.
