CrossOver 8.0 Released; Helps Linux and Mac Run Windows Software

CrossOver 8.0 (a commercial version of Wine) allows you to install many popular Windows productivity applications, plugins and games in OS X or Linux. CrossOver 8.0 includes an easy to use, single click interface, which makes installing a Windows application simple and fast. Once installed, your application integrate seamlessly with your desktop. Because CrossOver 8.0 isn’t based on Microsoft technology you can install these Windows programs without needing a Microsoft operating system license.

CrossOver 8.0 includes support for Internet Explorer 7, Quicken 2009, Photoshop CS2 and performance upgrades for Microsoft Office 2007, particularly Outlook.

There are 30 day trail versions of the software available and CrossOver Standard is priced at $39.95 (£25), as a download-only product. CrossOver Pro (which comes with 12 months of support as well as a copy of CrossOver Games, CodeWeavers Windows games compatibility product) is priced at $69.95 (£43) and can be delivered with an optional CD.
