We’re constantly testing and rating CrossOver’s compatibility with Windows software. From business and office to education and reference software, CrossOver runs thousands of Windows programs on Mac and Linux.
CodeWeavers' mission is to transform Mac OS X and Linux into Windows-compatible operating systems. By doing so, we provide a bridge to help users migrate from the Windows software world to these other environments. We do this primarily by making it possible to use Windows software on Mac OS X and Linux. Unsurprisingly, Crossover Office sees a lot of use in businesses, where Crossover Office lets Mac users access apps their PC-using colleagues rely upon, such as Microsoft Visio or the Quicken. CrossOver allows you to install many popular Windows applications on your Mac. Your applications integrate seamlessly in OS X; just click and run. No rebooting, no switching to a virtual machine, and no Windows Operating System license required. CrossOver is capable of running a range of Windows software. Effortlessly switch between Mac or Windows programs and play PC games at native speeds. Unlike other cross-platform compatibility solutions, CrossOver doesn’t require that you purchase a costly Windows license in order to run Windows apps on your Mac computer. Our licenses start as low as $39.95 USD.
