- We’re constantly testing and rating CrossOver’s compatibility with Windows software. From business and office to education and reference software, CrossOver runs thousands of Windows programs on Mac and Linux.
- Sep 06, 2007 Question: Q: Codeweavers, Parallels. With Codeweavers Crossover you won't need to buy a Windows XP (or Vista) license, since it is not needed. My cousin's husband is a realtor, and that's his excuse for not buying a Mac. Anyway, Crossover says that ActiveX support is not perfect, so sites that use ActiveX may or may not work.
- Mar 04, 2010 Parallels and Fusion is a bit slower then CrossOver, but you are running Windows and need to own windows in the first two. So the first two are a bigger investment. BootCamp allows you to boot native Windows, and it is exactly as windows, no different.
- Basically, CrossOver Mac is a commercial version of Wine with a variety of enhancements and end-user support.
- CrossOver许多游戏不支持，Wineskin也是一样。 Parallels和VMware也不能很好的利用显卡性能。 撸大型游戏还是BootCamp装个Windows吧。.
- Mar 01, 2010 Crossover is WINE. WINE is free, crossover overs some suport and makesthose who think they get what they pay for feel good. But it is the same software. I like VMware's Fusion because. Because VMware runs on other non-mac hosts. That way I can take mys VMware images with me and run them on any computer.
Crossover offers a Windows-like environment in which some Windows software can run. You'd need to determine if the Windows software you want to run is supported by Crossover, and, if so, how well. Check Crossover for that information.
