Run Windows apps on your MacBook – without Windows!

Would you like to run Windows applications on your MacBook but

• don't like Windows?

• don't own a copy of Windows and don't want to buy it?

• don't want your MacBook infected by all those Windows viruses and malware?

Then Peter Cohen at Macworld has good news for you:

"CodeWeavers has announced plans to release CrossOver Mac this summer. The $60 software will allow Intel Mac users to run Windows applications — including some games — without having to buy or install Windows itself.

"Boot Camp and Parallels Desktop both provide this capability for Intel Mac owners already. Boot Camp ... makes users reboot their Macs and run Windows. Parallels Desktop ... enables the Windows operating system and Windows applications to run in Mac OS X, within another window.

"CrossOver Mac will take this one step further — it eschews what CodeWeavers Chief Operating Officer Jon Parshall calls the “box within a box approach.”

"Applications running on CrossOver Mac will offer performance comparable to apps running natively on Windows, according to Parshall, with all the same capabilities and functionality as they would if you were running Windows."

Another plus for Crossover is that it’s much less susceptible to infection by Windows-based viruses or malware. It will also offer support for games. CodeWeavers will release CrossOver Mac in July or August, 2006. It will cost $59.95 for a single-user license.
