That said if you own Mac OS X based computers, you can run Windows applications such as Notepad, Mikrotik Winbox and more. In this post I want to show you how to install Wine on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (it should be also applicable for Snow Leopard 10.6, Leopard 10.5, and Tiger 10.4) via MacPorts.
Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris.
