CodeWeavers - Your Home for Windows Compatibility on Mac and Linux

Last spring, I was frustrated, because it seemed like many Mac users were not aware of CrossOver Mac. CrossOver is so much faster and easier to try than any of the other alternatives, it seems a crime to me that every Mac user doesn't try it first. It's not always the perfect solution, but when it works, it is very sweet.

However, since we believe in Free Software, and provide all of our core work to the free Wine Project, we're not exactly rolling in the marketing dough. So we had lunch with our PR firm to see what we could do with a bit of creativity. We had a lot of ideas, and this scheme of doing a Lameduck Challenge came up just as I had to leave the meeting. The idea was we'd give our software away for free if George Bush could accomplish any of a range of fairly challenging goals.

Testimonials

"I love it! It works beautifully for me."

"Codeweaver is the brick in the bridge that finally makes migration to a Linux platform a practical reality for those of us who use certain essential programs that are not likely to be ported to Linux."
- Raphael S.

"It works so well, and the Windows programs that it currently supports run so smoothly, that it makes me feel slightly guilty -- as though I'm somehow cheating."
- Rick Lehrbaum - Desktop Linux.com

"Thanks again for a great product. Students always ask, "How are you running PowerPoint on Linux????" I let them know :-)"
