Public Betas For CrossOver Mac and Linux

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the new-wine-in-mac-bottles dept.

Jeremy White writes, "I am happy to announce that we have put up a new version of our public beta of CrossOver Mac as well as an equivalent public beta of CrossOver Linux. For Mac users, this release includes fixes to Internet Explorer, fixes for many cases where programs would crash when run (e.g. Microsoft Office 2000 and similar older applications), fixes for Outlook 2003, and a range of other improvements. For Linux users, the big highlights are support for World of Warcraft and many Steam based games (including Half Life 2 and Counterstrike), as well as support for Outlook 2003. Version 6 also represents a major improvement in the core of Wine since version 5 of CrossOver, so you may be pleasantly surprised as you try running unsupported applications."

    because im hoping that out of the hundreds of thousands of people who read slashdot, one of them is not obnoxious and has relevant experience to share.

    you and the open source you are advocating can go to hell if the attitude of everybody who is new to it is like yours.

    if anybody else has some insightful comments with actual data that they feel like sharing, i'd be most appreciative.

    No.. Really? Other people actually exist?

    Well, regardless they are worthless waterbags to me, so who cares if they have chosen to use a flawed configuration? I dont care about them, and I am all that matters.
