CodeWeavers To Release CrossOver For Android To Run Windows Programs

Posted by samzenpus on from the playing-together dept.

An anonymous reader writes: For the better part of three years there has been talk about running Wine on Android to bring Windows x86 programs to Android phones/tablets, and it's going to become a reality. CodeWeavers is planning to release CrossOver For Android before the end of the year. This will allow native Windows binaries to run on Android, but will be limited to Android-x86 due to struggles in emulating x86 Windows code on ARM. The tech preview will be free and once published the open-source patches will be published for Wine.

    Fuck you. Don't want this fucking garbage on Android.

    Then don't install it. Phew, that was hard.
