Product Description:
CrossOver Mac allows you to install popular Windows applications and games on Mac OS X machine. It includes an easy to use, single click interface for simple and fast installation. Once installed, your application integrates seamlessly in OS X -- just click and run your application directly from the OS X Finder. Clicking a Windows file or document - including email attachments - will launch the appropriate Windows program, allowing you to work on the files. Best of all, you do it all easily and affordably, without needing a Microsoft operating system license. Place your install CD in your Mac -- CrossOver will recognize it and offer to begin the installation process. CrossOver then completes the installation and configures your application to run on your Mac. That's all there is to it!

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - caution - compatibility

I bought this product because I needed to install a specialized research program - made for Windows - on my MAC. The Cross Over Box listed on the box as "compatible" the particular research software - so it seemed like a secure deal. However, it turned out that Code Weavers did not allow this software to work on my computer. The website then explained that there's a distinction between "supported" programs and "compatible." The "compatible" ones listed on the box don't always work.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - OK, but Disappointing
I bought this product hoping it would be a good way to run a few non-video intensive PC games on my Macbook Air. None of the games I tried would work for any prolonged period of time. Since some of the games only require a P3 600Mhz I was sorely disappointed in this product. I did try installing a few programs on the "compatible" list from the developer's website such as Office XP and they worked fine. So, if you are going to only run applications that are listed as compatible from the developer ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Software!! No More Need for Windows
I recently started using CrossOver Mac on my new MacBook, and I now can't live without it! If you own a Mac and you want to run PC based applications like Microsoft Office 2003, Steam Games, or Internet Explorer 6, this is the software you need to buy. I bought it to run Outlook so I could get my office e-mail, but I now use it for games and browsing the Internet (not a fan of FireFox).

The software was very easy for me to install and use. It runs in the background so I don't even have ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - CrossOver-- A Must! A Critical Review
*Is there a way to get around upgrading to Vista?
**What's available?
***Review of CrossOver
**** New version, 7.0 available as of 6.17.08

*I'm a Mac-owner and proud. With that said, there are several ways of keeping current with technology without needing to buy every product that Microsoft puts out. This is accomplished by several programs that have been created where software (created solely for the Windows platform) is fooled into thinking that the operating system ... Read More
