About CrossOver

Lots of people talk about open source. Talk is cheap. We code. Run your Windows® app on MacOS, Linux, or ChromeOS. CrossOver Mac® Do you like buying Windows® licenses? You do? Great. You do you. For the rest of humanity, CrossOver is the easiest way to run many Microsoft applications on your Mac without a clunky Windows emulator. (Seriously, have you tried emulators? Do you like how they run on your Mac?) CrossOver works differently. It's not an emulator. It does the work of translating Windows commands into Mac commands so that you can run Windows software as if it were designed native to Mac. CrossOver works with all kinds of software - productivity software, utility programs, and games - all with one application. CrossOver Linux® You are the noble of the noblest running Linux. You don't want the despair of running a Windows OS on your finely minted machine. You don't want to sell your soul for a Windows license or squander away your hard drive shekels running a virtual machine

    "A scam unless you purchase fully supported licence"

    Posted 2021-12-06

    Pros: Works with older windows apps, bur can be clunky and stutters with anything requiring more effort than Prince of Persia :-(

    Cons: Purchased for Mac, after 6 months an OS upgrade rendered it useless. Without a support licence you have to pay full price again! After just 6 months! I consider this to be a scam.

    Overall: Not happy at all. It is one thing to have to pay for PROPER support - like help, assistance. But to charge for a new product after 6 months under the guise of support is disgusting.
