    Default CrossOver for free for one day

    Hey everyone,

    Codeweavers (www.codeweavers.com) have issued a press release stating that CrossOver Mac/Games/Linux will each be free for one day (Tuesday 28th October).

    See the Press Release for further details.


    Personally I'm going to give this a go so I can finally finish those games I've been putting off because I hate rebooting.

    I'm guessing this is based on US times?

    I don't think so. CST is GMT -6 and OZ(EDT) is GMT+11, so, 12 AM Tuesday would be 5 PM Wednesday here (it only one hour more than PDT for those of us that read webcomics)

    Perhaps it would be a good idea to put this on the front page so people are aware of it? I mean, it is only for one day.

    What makes CrossOver different from Parallels and VMware?

    Runs the Windows application (if compatible) without the need for the Windows OS to be installed (thus no Windows license needed)

    Still waiting, though after I registered, I closed the browser tab, then went back and noticed I was logged in.

    They let you download the demo which you can unlock to the full version once the e-mail comes through.

    I tried installing Steam but will probably need to wait until I get home as it fails during the MSXML download and install.

    I believe it also lets you run applications requiring direct x, which VMWare does not? I would like to stand corrected on that one

    Installed it, waiting to see if they've made any improvements over the last time I tried it.

    (and it sucked hard).

    hm, I have a feeling it's to do with free email accounts. I entered my gmail account and still have received no email, so I did it again using my work email and got it straight away. Maybe try a non free, or ISP based email account if you have one.
