Crossover for Mac

[adsl3g]

Anybody used this? I see it is not necessary to load a copy of Windows to run windows apps with crossover.

Am looking to run flatcast on the MAC but it is only supported via Windows.

Think you meant to add this link in.

I've used parallels and heard only good things about VMware but this seems to be a bit like Linux's Wine.

Meaning??

That it isnt windows. Not all windows programs will run under it but it might work just fine for you.

I haven't tried it on the Mac but I used it at work on Linux for a few months to run Outlook (until I figured out the LDAP attributes of the Exchange contact list, that is...). Wasn't particularly stable, but not much worse than I've come to expect from Outlook running natively on windows

I've also ran a few other programs - DVD-Shrink, IE6, DVD-Decrypter, etc. - without any problems whatsoever.
