I downloaded Windows version of this poorly written app's beta. There are no real instructions, and it's not intuitive to say the least.
First many apps are not suited to run on a PC. ie no touch screen
Second my PC took longer and longer to start and shut down.
Third internet access slowed.
After un-installing the directory/files and reg entries remained, and the agent continued to load and run
Loading TCPview from sysinternals revealed the agent cycle was about three times a second.
Not ready for prime time, you have been warned

Why would anyone want to run an Android app on a Mac computer; many of the apps in the Google Play Store are malware. I know, i've got an Android phone and every app i want to download wants access to all my private data! It's a nightmare.

I like that people are trying this. I don't want vendor lock-in anymore. I want all software to run on all hardware (that has enough memory and processing power).
