Pu7o Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Got this email: Hi Folks, I am very happy to announce that we have shipped final versions of CrossOver Mac 6.0 and CrossOver Linux 6.0. Users of Intel based Mac systems can now seamlessly run many Windows applications on their Mac without needing a Windows license. Supported applications include Outlook, Visio, Project, Quicken, Steam based games such as Half Life 2, and many more. For Linux users, we have added support for Outlook 2003, World of Warcraft, a range of Steam based games such as Half-Life 2, and a number of other applications. Additionally, CrossOver 6 represents another major step forward in the evolution of Wine, so most users will find substantial improvements in the overall compatibility and behavior of CrossOver as compared to version 5. With the addition of games to our lineup, we felt that 'CrossOver Office' was no longer an appropriate name, so we have also rebranded the Linux product as 'CrossOver Linux'. If you are an existing CrossOver customer with an active support entitlement, you should be able to visit our web site to download this latest version: www.codeweavers.com You will need to log in with the email and username that you used when purchasing CrossOver. Once logged in, you should be able to go to 'My Downloads' to download this release, presuming you are a customer on active support (you can review your purchase history on your account tab as well). If you have questions or need some help, please feel free to drop an email to sales at codeweavers.com, where we'll do our best to help you. We recommend that anyone who is interested in CrossOver first download a trial version and make sure that it works well for you; trials are available front and center on our main web page, at www.codeweavers.com. We are looking forward to 2007, as we plan to release a range of improvements to CrossOver, particularly as we get our Mac 'sea legs' underneath ourselves. This will include refinements to many of our supported applications, and will also hopefully included expanded support for many other applications, notably games. We appreciate the support of everyone that has helped us throughout the beta process. We are grateful that we have the opportunity to contribute so much to the Wine project; it is only your support that allows us to do so. Cheers, Jeremy White CEO CodeWeavers, Inc. Yes, I actually paid for CrossOver Mac. Surprised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadsport Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Like the last few releases, there's no noticeable improvement for any app I've tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tRaViEsOyQuE Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I am testing the trial version of CrossOver 6.0 and have been able to install, run/use the following programs: Office 2000 Profesional Edition IE 6.0 Netscape 8.1 Music Match 9.0 Yahoo Messenger AOL Messenger MSN Messenger I found that it will not load/run programs that are WinXP Native and will only run programs which are win98-2000 versions. Will continue testing and update. tRaViEsOyQuE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
