As a special promotion tomorrow October 28th only, CodeWeavers will make their CrossOver products for Mac and Linux free, limited to one copy per-customer. This is a great application if you want to run Windows apps on your non-Windows desktop, but don’t want to overhead of an entire Virtual Machine and OS.
With CrossOver you can run a lot of key Windows apps on your Linux machine, or Mac. Here are just a few apps I use the software for:
- Office 2003 – When Open Office just can’t read that file
- Photoshop – What can I say, I am a long time PS user
- Outlook – Great Exchange support is hard to find, and my work uses Exchange
- Internet Explorer – For those web sites that “just don’t get it”
- World Of Warcraft – Runs great, and every now and then I just gotta scratch the WoW itch!
You can read their official announcement here, along with all the details !
