There is a good reason for this - the only way to get 100% extraction would
be to run the EXE in an emulation layer, ie Virtual PC.

We will be taking a non-technical approach to making it easier to get
Pocket PC apps. We are working with Handango (see our recent press release)
and other software portals and ISVs to provide Mac friendly ZIP files
and/or installers.

We encourage you to ask your favorite Pocket PC software vendors to contact
us (sales at markspace.com is best) to participate in this upcoming
co-marketing opportunity.

>One last thing, what to you guess the time will be from this first release

We can't say. One step at a time...
