  19. General consensus is that it is useful for in-house apps, but not a good
  20. plan for commercial applications.  It basically requires a large (1.5Mb)
  21. Windows emulation layer that results in greater system complexity, slower
  22. response and lots of un-Mac-like behavior.  Not to mention lack of support
  23. for basic Mac technologies like AppleScript, Drag-and-Drop, etc.
