CrossOver Mac allows you to install your favorite Windows applications and games on Mac OS X.
CrossOver includes an easy to use, single click interface, which makes installing Windows software simple and fast. Once installed, your application integrates seamlessly in OS X.
Just click and run your application directly from the OS X Finder. Clicking a Windows file or document — including email attachments — will launch the appropriate Windows program, allowing you to work on the files. Best of all, you do it all easily and affordably, without needing a Microsoft operating system license.
Adding your favorite Windows software is easy, using their normal installation CDs. Just place a Windows CD in your Mac, and CrossOver will recognize it and offer to begin the installation process. CrossOver then completes the installation and configures your application to run on your Mac. That's all there is to it.
CrossOver Mac is capable of running a range of Windows software. To see if your favorite application is supported, please check our CrossOver Compatibility Center.

What's New:
CrossOver Mac specific changes:
Improved CD-handling: Now CrossOver should be able to detect and
interact with all removable volumes and dynamically assign
drive letters to then. The 'eject' button should work better as
well. All in all, multi-CD installs should work much better.
Rearranged the panels in the Bottle Manager; added a bottle
description field.
Changed the GUI feedback during the deletion of a bottle.
Fixed icons in the control-panel.
Improved locale support -- now the Windows locale should match the OS X locale.
Fixed a few keymapping problems. Shift-arrow selection should
now work properly, and non-US keyboards may work better.
Added default association handling so that .pdfs and such are passed to the system for opening.
Fixed an occasional crash in Half-Life.
Redesign of menu and Applications/CrossOver handling.
Menus should now vanish when applications are removed.
Added the first part of a User Guide.
Partial redesign of the Bottle Manager dialog
General CrossOver fixes and improvements:
Fixed network play in Half-Life 1.
