NES Software has announced a performance overhaul for WinOnX, the application that lets Macs run Microsoft Windows software.

According to Hisham El-Emam, CEO of NES Software, the latest version of WinOnX features: enhanced compatibility to run 80% of Windows apps; encrypted data transfer improvements; improved 3D display with OS-X 10.7.5 and 10.8.2; better support for filenames with non-ASCII characters; improved handling of LNK Windows files; and better error handling and reporting.

Now, WinOnX users can run more Windows applications more effectively than ever before, according to the folks at NES Software. WinOnX 1.5 is available for US$4.99 in the Mac App Store. For more info go to http://www.winonx.com .
