I have painstakingly developed an app. for a company
But the CEO. has now bought a new MAC BOOK
This is his baby and he does everything on it.

Any ideas?
Thanks guys.

Consider using MONO...

That was my idea, too. My 5.
But there is another, very non-trivial open-source product, in addition to mono. Please see my answer.

Thanks...
Nice one - I heard about, but never had the opportunity to play with...
I thought about mono because OP has already developed the app...

In addition to Mono, you could develop Mac-specific applications using MonobjC:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monobjc[^],
http://www.monobjc.net/[^].

One hint which is not very trivial: with MonobjC, execution of application is different: it replaces mono command line: instead of "mono application.exe" you run "monobjc application.exe". I used both MonoObjC and UI based on System.Windows.Forms and managed to develop applications on Windows, which work on Mac OS X without recompilation. I even developed a technique to combined two such UI in one project, but this is very advanced technique.
