Codeweavers makes a wonderful piece of software called “Crossover” that allows you to install and run Windows Applications and Games under the Linux and Mac OSX platforms, without needing to install or run Windows. It’s not an emulator, but it’s based off of the Wine emulation layer. I’ve been meaning to write a blog entry about it for awhile, because it’s a very solid piece of software, and they have a great support team that is constantly working to improve the program. However, I had to write an entry today, because tomorrow they are going to give their software away for FREE, for 24 hours.
Yes sir, I said free. Free as in air. You can go here to read the press release on why they’re doing it, and how to get your hands on a copy of this gold nugget of software.
