By Having a tool that installs and runs applications and games cross platform might be something necessary for most of us, something which seems to be years away. Now, for Mac users this is possible with WinOnX.
WinOnX is able to install several Windows programs on your OS X computers, but the developers recommend you stick with Mac programs, if Windows versions of these are available. That is because some of the programs might not install correctly and some might not even work at all. But if you check out the list of known compatible software, you shouldn’t have any problems. Moreover, complaining to the developers by leaving feedback on their official site, could actually guarantee your favorite program a spot on the list of working software.

Another option you have, besides WinOnX, is to actually install a virtual version of the full operating system, method which is much more expensive, costing you a full price licensed Windows. However, unlike virtualization, installing with WinOnX is not only less costly, but it will also consume less RAM, and install and run what you want just like you would genuinely on Windows.
All in all, WinOnX is a cheap solution for running software developed for Windows on Macs. But be sure to check out the list of compatible programs and try to find versions created for Mac first.
