What's New
Version 10.2:
- Added a workaround for a bug in Mac OS X 10.7. Many games running in a virtual desktop cause a crash. This can be resolved by setting the CX_LEAK_XPLUGIN_SURFACES environment variable.
- Work around a bug in OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. 10.6.8 generated corrupt icon files which caused occasional Finder crashes. Now we use a different API to generate icon files which bypasses the issue.
- Changed behavior of group permissions on certain files. Resolves an issue with .docx files on certain file systems.

CrossOver Mac will be the very best way to run your Windows applications on your Intel based Mac. It will let you install and run Windows programs as though they were native, all without having to buy or run a copy of Windows itself.
We strongly recommend that you review the list of Frequently Asked Questions prior to installing CrossOver. You may also want to browse the forums or search the Compatibility Center to see if your specific needs will be addressed.
At CodeWeavers, we believe strongly in truth in advertising. I have written a detailed description of our real world experience with CrossOver Mac through our rounds of testing. This way, you can be certain that this product will live up to your expectations...

For example, Internet Explorer 7 will crash on some web pages when run through Crossover so you can't test them at all. I get errors every time I go to boingboing.net with IE7 and Crossover.
Also, the far right button in IE7 is inaccessible. Also, it's glitchy. With one bottle, I'm able to close IE7 just by closing the window. In another bottle of IE7 I have to quit it from the Dock. Not consistent.
Also, IE7 in crossover doesn't work properly with some animated gifs, etc. - so testing pages with those is out the window as well.
On the plus side, when websites don't crash in IE7 and you can test them it's much faster to fire up Crossover than to run Parallels, etc.
And, unlike Parallels, Crossover handles symbiotic links just fine and that's vital. It's an ongoing stupid embarrassment that Parallels hasn't fixed this issue and they'd do well to note that Crossover handles pulling up web pages from internal servers via symbolic links perfectly.
All in all, Crossover is too hit or miss with IE7 and as of this date you can't even run IE8 at all. So I only use Crossover for specific websites it's IE7 will work with. Regrettably, I also have to have Parallels to test sites with IE7 where Crossover fails or with IE8 which won't work it Crossover at all.

But the biggest no-go is the price. There are much cheaper and above all beter (read working) solutions.

And seriously, I prefer the money i spent for CrossOver Pro 5 years ago than a free Wine : long time to setup and not so easy, not so well integrated in Mac OS, plus don't forget Code Weavers does a lot of code integration for Wine ...

It allowed me to use all my windows astronomy softwares without booting my sluggish bootcamp parallels partition. Love this app. Yet i wouldn't spend $70 for it - as long as efficiency is not 100%.

I can access all of the computers on my network, and they can connect to the internet.
I used AppDelete and removed everything from CrossOver, still nothing. Repaired permissions, zapped pram, booted in safe mode...nothing.
the response from the company is ""our software has nothing to do with connectivity." Well, it obviously screwed something up. STAY AWAY FROM THIS!!!
