CrossOver Mac by CodeWeaver gets substantial upgrade

CrossOver Mac is a program which lets you run Windows programs from your Mac - without needing Windows. Think of it as a Rosetta for Windows instead of PowerPC Mac applications. They specifically comment in the notes that Quicken 2007 for Windows still doesn't run on the new CrossOver Shoot! That's the one Windows program that I can't do without. - I would love to see TMPGEnc run on CrossOver, I'll have to test that one.

CrossOver Mac


Hi Folks,

I'm happy to say that we've now made a public prerelease versionof CrossOver Mac 6.0 available for your testing pleasure. A summarylist of changes is available below.

At this point, we feel we're finally beginning to converge on a final 6.0.We still have some major issues we hope to solve, mostly withprograms like Quicken 2007.

However, we hope this build brings a lot of joy, particularly in fixesfor service packs, Outlook 2003, Quicken versions prior to 2007,and with some Half Life 2 fixes.

We're also hoping to confirm that we've made progress on non US locales,particularly European and Japanese environments, which should nowbe working reasonably well.

Major issues we will continue to work on are around Quicken 2007,and just general polish and clean up of a variety of applications(e.g. End Note and others).

I'm particularly interested in Outlook 2003 use in Exchange environments.In all of our testing, this seems to be working pretty well. I'd really appreciatetest reports on your experiences with it.

At any rate, thanks for your interest and help. We'll be watching the betareports and forums more closely, please direct your feedback there.

Cheers,

Jeremy
