I had a chat with Jon Parshall, Chief Operating Officer of CodeWeavers, about their marvelous product CrossOver for Mac. Based on Wine, CrossOver allows Windows applications (including games) to run under Mac and Linux without Windows. In contrast to solutions like VMWare and Parallels that use an installed, genuine version of Windows, CrossOver is an implementation of the technologies in Windows. CrossOver doesn’t load a second operating system alongside your current operating system, just what is needed to make a program work.
