Before asking for a Pandora port of a program, please make sure that the source code of this application is available.

It is not possible to port things like Steam, World of Warcraft and other things that are not open source.

If you want to be completely sure that an application can or can't be ported, take a look at the portability flowchart.

Furthermore, it is not possible to emulate Windows software through WINE due to the different processor architecture.

edit: somebody stick this, turns out that I can't (at least I think I can't)
 
X86 is overrated and only popular for the same reason why Microsoft Windows is "popular." I'd choose sane architecture design and battery life over Intel in all cases.
