#Reviews of crossover for mac install#
Second, our 'Bottles' facility makes it quite easy to install and manage Windows software. First, it's a nice, easy to use GUI you don't have to build it and operate it from the command line. There are several advantages of CrossOver over vanilla Wine. What value does CrossOver Mac have over Wine? We're quite uptight about underpromising, to be candid). (Our gold applications are things like Microsoft Office 2000, which are tried and tested on Linux we never launch a new application at 'Gold' as a matter of principal. I would say that all of those will launch at a 'silver' level, and that as we get feedback from customers, we'll gradually move them to Gold by years end.
Our primary focus is going to be on Outlook 2003, Project 2003, Visio 2003, Quicken, and the Steam-based games such as Half Life 2. There is a very small number of applications that we officially support that are worthy of the tag 'gold', and then there is a much greater number of applications that 'just work'. How many fully functional, or "gold," applications will be available when CrossOver Mac comes out of beta? That's the catch, which was the starting point for a few questions for the folks at CodeWeaver. Unfortunately, I do need to run Internet Explorer for Windows from time to time, which is why I was intrigued by Crossover Mac.ĬrossOver Mac 6.0 was released during Macworld, offering Mac users the ability to run Windows applications without Windows. Being a member of the 4 percent of a market of 3 percent of computer users who want to stick it to The Man, I am Mac-native by philosophy. Full disclosure requires that I not only admit I own Parallels and am looking at the VMWare Fusion beta, but that I don't really need to run Windows on my Mac.
