I've been using Parallels to run Windows on my MacBook laptop so I can
run SeeYou and I've found it works really well and at very good speed.
More recently I've tried one of the WINE implementations, called
Crossover:
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
It allows you to run Windows apps natively on the Mac - no Windows or
virtualization software required. It simply translates the OS calls
from what the program needs from Windows into what the Mac expects.
It doesn't run perfectly (SeeYou is not even a supported app), but it
runs well enough that I've loaded it on my iMac. The only significant
drawback is that it doesn't support SeeYou's 3D mode.
I expect other Windows-based soaring software will also run if you
have the need. If anybody knows of a WINE implementation that works
better (e.g. supports 3D graphics) I'd love to hear about it.
