+ There are some complicated issues surrounding Wine on Mac OS X.<br>
+ Working with low-level features, such as signal handling and system<br>
+ registers, are quite different on Mac OS X. Further hampering<br>
+ the issue are some bugs within the operating system. Beyond<br>
+ that, integration on Mac OS X becomes difficult because it is<br>
+ vastly different than a traditional *nix desktop. Menuing<br>
+ and graphics drivers are just two areas that require a complete<br>
+ reimplementation in order to be functional.<br>
