All CodeWeavers Crossover products are FREE today
A few months ago, the folks at CodeWeavers threw down a challenge to President George W Bush. That challenge was an offer of free software if gas prices fell below a certain level in a certain amount of time. Well, no thanks to Bush, gas prices did fall. That means the folks at CodeWeaver will be honoring their challenge and giving away software for free for one day: today.
What were the terms of the original challenge by CodeWeaver CEO Jeremy White? From the notice that went out alerting us to the free software today: “If the president achieved one of White’s six “Lame Duck” goals during the twilight of his 2nd term, White would make Windows-API enabler & WINE GUI CrossOver free to customers for one day.”
Crossover is a software that allows you to run Windows on a Mac. It isn’t widely supported yet, but those who use it, love it. It has been gaining both traction and popularity since it was first released, rapidly catching up to favorites Parallels and BootCamp.
White is following through on his pledge. Not only will you be able to get CrossOver for Mac for free over the course of the day today (10/28), you will also be able to get CrossOver for Linux and CrossOver Games as well. Each title retails for around $40, so this is a fairly good deal I highly recommend snapping up.
In order to use CrossOver, you need an Intel Mac running Tiger or higher, and adequate RAM for the job. Some sites following the give away have noted that users must make a choice between a Mac or Linux version and look forward to seeing the statistics on the choices made the day after the software giveaway. I’m betting Mac wins, how about you?
