I tried using it, found the software very functional (It does run unsupported software - they just cant test and support ALL windows software obviously). Great for running pc software without having to partition your hard drive and install windows - definitely saves hard drive space!
I did really like the installer which helps install windows software on a virtual C:\ Drive. I would like to see the C:\ mounted or at least Aliased on the desktop though. The open/save file dialog can get complicated being that your C:\ is located in your user directory and your mac drives are also available to select from.
I will keep it installed just in case, but usually I can find suitable or better mac software for most purposes. I may even try other free or open source versions of wine for OS X instead of this commercial software.
Unfortunately, HL2 is one of the few games it can run well.
Great product! I'm able to play Half-Life 2 reliably in OS X, both online and off. It's not perfect yet, but every new release seems to make big improvements over the previous. What's also great is that, if you're willing to help out by being an "Advocate," you can get the product for free.
Tried it. This concept is limited to supported and tested Windows titles. So, for example, my version of Word (2003) was not support (at the time I tested). I'm sure it is supported now but what this brought to light was the following: you develop your list of must-have Windows apps, see if CrossOver supports your list, determine if you can live with the results of that comparison. I could not. Also, I did not like CrossOver attempting to auto-launch Window executables. Likely that could be turned off but, by then, I was turned off.
you can now download the mac beta trial...there is a download trial link...it's great
The Mac Beta is out I have downloaded it and pre-ordered it (preorders get a $20 discount and an extra 3 months of support).
It does say version: Beta, but I cannot find where to get a beta copy. Whomever submitted this needs to help us out.
Or are we supposed to use this in combination with Fink on an Intel mac?
Cool, but it does not appear to infact be released... Just went to the site, and they've only got the Linux version trial available, not the Mac version.
I'll check back soon, though.
