“Run Windows program on your Mac”

by Cyril Roger about CrossOver Mac

Those of you familiar with Wine will enjoy working with CrossOver Mac. This application allows you to run programs written for Microsoft Windows without actually installing the operating system.

CrossOver Mac includes a Wine software library of Windows programs that it can run. You'll find very popular applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Quick or Windows Media Player. Be aware though that you'll still need the program installer to actually install any application.

CrossOver Mac will create bottles, which are essentially Windows environments, for the programs you install. These include their own C drive, subdirectories and registry.

Since CrossOver Mac is not truly a virtual environment, it can launch applications much faster. The downside to this is that you never really feel like you are using Windows. Another problem with CrossOver Mac is that software unsupported by Wine either won't work or will be unstable.

CrossOver Mac lets you install and run Windows applications on your Mac.

Pros
  • Easy to set up
  • Launches programs quickly
  • Big Wine software library
Cons
  • Unsupported applications might not run well
