CODEWEAVERS LAUNCHES CROSSOVER 16
Update supports Office 2013, 64 bit programs, and includes Wine 2.0 technology

SAINT PAUL, Minn (December 12, 2016) — CodeWeavers, Inc., developer of CrossOver—the easiest, fastest way to run Windows software on Mac and Linux—announced today the release of CrossOver 16. With CrossOver 16, you can run thousands of Windows software titles, without the need for a Windows OS license.

CrossOver 16 supports Microsoft Office 2013 on both macOS and Linux. This brings the convenience, ease, and interoperability of the full featured, modern Office suite to our Linux and macOS customers.

CrossOver 16 is the first version of CrossOver to support 64-bit Windows applications, with automatic install recipes for a few popular titles already. CrossOver 16 also incorporates code from the upcoming Wine 2.0 release, the open-source technology that allows Windows applications to be run on Unix. The net effect is that CrossOver 16 users will be able to run many more Windows applications, with enhancements to their performance and graphics.
