Climbing up the ladder
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So i bought a Mac and cant get on with some of the equivilent Mac Apps to the Windows Apps. So i decided to see if there was a way to use the Windows Apps on Mac.

There were various programs that allowed you to run Windows on a Mac and then the Windows App. However this isn't exactly what i wanted, because the program would lag the app.

I came across a program called "WineBottler" and here is what i was exactly looking for, something that would run my Windows Apps without running Windows.

i went to the official site but it seems there download link is broken and it wouldnt let me download it, so ill provide the link that i used along with the link to their official site.

I hope this helps anyone who had the same problem as me.

Before anyone trolls saying this has been posted before, maybe it has but that was years ago and i thought we could do with a fresh thread and also id like to show the community at NGU im not a leecher (cos im not premium cos i dont have the money to buy it)

I hope this helps you guys, Wizz

Link to Winebottler Official site:

p.s i dont take credit for the upload its what i found on the internet and as were all using a Mac its safe but feel free to scan if if you like.

Nope i've helped some fellow MAc users out there.

Edit 1 - The official site download link is now working (I checked after i posted this so I removed the Mediafire link)

Do a barrel roll!
There are a lot of ways using Windows App.

Bootcamp
Parallel Desktop
VMWare

But these require a lot of your CPU and the older ones like my Macbook (Late 2006) are going very slow

So im going to test this WineBottler to check if this one isn't beating my CPU.
Tnx!
