Hmm... an app named for a web address. Anyhow, all Windows apps run in Windows. You can't run a Windows app in OS X or Linux. Buy a Windows 7 DVD and install it on your Mac.

Try Seashore. Much easier and faster to use than Gimp, and much smaller download.

Most likely you can't. Paint.net uses Microsoft's .net framework, hence the name. It's entirely designed for Windows computers. Best bet is to look for a Mac version of GIMP. It's an image editor more powerful than paint.net but not as good as Photoshop. It has an awkward interface but it's free and open source so it's available for most operating systems.

Gee, maybe you go to paint.net! Or maybe you can buy it on ebay!

By the way I just went to paint.net and says it's for windows!

You don't. It uses Microsoft's .net framework, which doesn't exist on Mac Os.

You can try Gimp or Seashore. Both are free and will edit images on a Mac.
