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?

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).

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.

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.

Unfortunately, HL2 is one of the few games it can run well.

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.

yes you could but, then you wouldn't be using the latets OS. Tiger is more than just Dashboard and Spotlight. I could do without Dashboard most of the time, if this allows me to enable/diable on the fly, I'd give it a try.

A Dialog pops up telling you that a terminal window is going to appear, and that you should input your password, except your typing will be invisable. After I typed in my password, I got a beach ball that wouldn't go away. Finally, I got a dialog that said something about applescript timeout. I had to trash this program.

Good program, probably one of the best network tools on a Mac. but get the fe version as stated before. Just unzip and Go.

NmapFE is definitely a great way to go. Unfortunately, developement has stopped and it was last compiled with nmap 3.70, which is a bit dated and missing out on some of Nmaps new features (better OS and service detection).

Best compiled from source without Fink/Darwinports.

Refer to http://x9.ath.cx/blog/#entry060715-235014 to fix the compile errors.

Development has not stopped, it's just been on hold. It's since been resumed.

NmapFE is kinda useless. Although useful to learn with. I should take it and make it support some of the latest options in nmap.

By far the best, yet I think this is mostly due to there being very little in the way of alternatives.
