Wine

[Richard L. Hamilton]

Sure, but for some things Wine is good enough and even better. Back in Mojave (32-bit support) and earlier, one could use WineBottler to make a Mac app using Wine that invoked a Windows program. I had that for abc_tags.exe, which is more convenient than VLC for fixing batches of mis-tagged AVI files. No need to fire up a full VM for that. And yes, I have Parallels and VirtualBox and other virtualization products for other platforms; nothing against full virtualization, but sometimes it's overkill.
