While this is very useful when it works Vmware Fusion Player is much more compatible for Windows and faster too, if you can run the ARM version of Windows. This operates much better that anticipated on Apple Silicon and x86 code is translated. It's not perfect, but the best I've ever tried anywhere Mac. Make no mistake Codeweavers are brilliant when it comes to games et al. That still doesn't help me and Fusion does.

30 (thirty) years ago, I definitively gave up using Windows and computers that run on this operating system. And I'm very happy with the Macintosh logic.

It runs 'native' on ARM (Apple Silicon) but it's only an EMULATOR, meaning that it's running x86 software using Apple's (most wonderful) Rosetta 2. So don't expect speed. It's also a good idea to go through Crossover's compatibility list, meaning the list of Windows (x86) apps that run on it AND how well they run. - - NOTE that Crossover asks for money in order to further their WINE development work. But as WINE developers, everything they code for WINE is actually free to use via the latest WINE updates, as per their WINE license. So, if you want to help, donate! If you can't, then off to WINE with you!

Q: Is there any chance of WINE running on ARM CPUs in the near future? - - A: NO. Oh and NO. - - BTW: The yearly support subscription for CrossOver is $64.00. IOW: You don't have to pay $494.00 for 'Lifetime Support' if you don't want to.

WINE v7 was publicly released this week, but not yet for Mac. IOW: No MacPorts, Homebrew or Crossover versions yet. NOTE: V7 will provide *nothing-at-all* regarding Apple ARM (Apple Silicon, M1) CPUs. Nada. WINE 7 will still be an emulator running on an emulator on M1 Macs, i.e. relatively slow. Crossover says they will now begin developing v7 for Mac, but it won't be out until later this year. Crossover is the primary developer of WINE for Mac. So, we gotta wait...

$59.95 is the ACTUAL cost. That buys you the software plus 1 year of support. The free trial is for 14 days. - - NOT ARM64 (Apple Silicon/M1) native. It runs in Rosetta 2. The result is an emulator running in an emulator, which means it's slow. Crossover is working on a native version, but it's dependent on ARM WINE, which exists only in a preliminary form. CrossOver expects to remain dependent on Rosetta 2 until such time as Apple kills it. As such, look elsewhere if you can. I successfully use Parallels with ARM Windows 11 Preview Version. It's x86 emulator is quite reasonable. You can read about CrossOver's plans for ARM64 compatibility here: https://www.codeweavers.com/blog/jramey/2021/5/19/what-is-our-technology-roadmap-for-apple-silicon

Absolute scam - I purchased a basic version less than 6 months ago, will not longer work on my updated mac because I failed to purchase an additional support licence (I don't need any support!). It is disgusting that an app can cease to work after just 6 months. This company has no shame or morals - avoid!

I use VMWare Fusion or Parallels to keep just one old and no longer supported PC application that I still need alive. I'd like to be able to give CrossOver a try, however it is unable to import the application and whatever support files it needs from the Fusion or Parallels VM - I need the original installer which I don't have anymore. I suppose that makes some sense - how would CrossOver know where all those files are. Anyway, that's the reason I won't ever be able to use CrossOver.

I wish I had read all the negative comments before purchasing. Every time a new version is released to fix their many bugs (and they are PLENTY of them!), you need to pay 60$ for the upgrade!. No documentation , I had to dive deep into reddit posts to solve some issues when starting apps. I was hoping to play some Steam games with my M1 MB Air, but most games are way too buggy to be played, although I was told it was possible. Utterly disappointed and wasted my money.

skinned wine. my loyalty is with parallels, which I was a beta tester for back in 2006. I tried other solutions, but until bootcamp came along, there was nothing better than parallels. I was using stuff like sony vegas & corel photopaint on a gen-1 intel macbook pro, & apart from a bit of video memory management with a usb scanner, it was as good as or better than running the same apps on a pc laptop.

Bought an earlier version that continues to work but tried to run Forte, a Windows news client on Crossover. Codeweaver wrote it and couldn't get it to work. So, I won't ever upgrade. They got my $20 and that's it.

Initially, Crossover was working for me to run an astrological software program via Windows. However, since the latest update it is constantly freezing, crashing and barely useable. I have tried to contact the company but to no avail, so will unfortunately have to uninstall and find something else...not happy.

Doesn't work as advertised. Terrible support. Won't refund without setting up a Teamviewer session to ensure you have removed it which is totally out of the question for my work pc despite them acknowledging it is their isssue.
