Is there some sort of emulator or software layer that will let me run Windows executables (exe) in Mac OS X 10.5?

I am not looking for Boot Camp or Parallels or any OS virtualization. I want something like WINE on Ubuntu.

There are ports of WINE for OS X from other vendors (The WINE project does not make OS X binaries themselves), but remember, WINE Is Not an Emulator ;)

Did I mention how much I love recursive acronyms? :)

You might also try CrossOver, which is WINE with support. There's a free trial.

+1 You can use CrossOver to run executables, but the results might be less than spectacular; not everything runs all that great. For me, CrossOver was good enough though. – alex Jan 6 '10 at 7:53
