| Posted on |

San Francisco based NES Software has announced the latest release of WinOnX, its application that enables users to run Microsoft Windows software on a Macintosh. The newest version, WinOnX 1.3, adds support for many additional Windows applications, and a new program compatibility database that lets users quickly see how likely their program is to work with WinOnX and if there are any known issues. WinOnX 1.3 also offers the ability to launch multiple instances of a Windows program simultaneously and supports native Mac OS X open-file dialog.

Additionally, WinOnX 1.3 now includes automatic problem analysis claimed to make it fast and easy to diagnose and resolve errors, and the ability to rate, review and comment on program compatibility from the status bar. WinOnX is claimed to support over 70 percent of Windows programs, require no Windows boot time and features a low cost, easy setup.

The first release of WinOnX promised Mac users a way to run their critical Windows software without the complexity and cost of virtualization programs, purchasing additional licenses, time spent setting up Windows or resorting to the command line, and the developers say they delivered. WinOnX 1.3 expands on that promise by making the software more robust and easy to use, thanks to the application’s improved full screen view and better multiple printer integration. A program compatibility database lets users know if application will run before purchase.

WinOnX is based on the latest version of the open source Wine library, version 1.4, and is claimed to launch faster than other virtual environments. Users simply install WinOnX 1.3, locate their Windows application and double-click. No need to wait for virtual environments to load; once WinOnX is installed, users can launch their Windows apps directly with no extra steps, and at $4.99, WinOnX is an affordable way to have access to Windows software without leaving the Mac.

System Requirements:
WinOnX requires Apple Macintosh OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or later and at least 91.3 MB of space to install.
