CrossOver

Run your Windows® app on MacOS and Linux

CrossOver® Mac

Do you like buying Windows® licenses? You do? Great. You do you. For the rest of humanity, CrossOver is the easiest way to run many Microsoft applications on your Mac without a clunky Windows emulator. (Seriously, have you tried emulators? Do you like how they run on your Mac?) CrossOver works differently. It's not an emulator. It does the work of translating Windows commands into Mac commands so that you can run Windows software as if it were designed native to Mac.

CrossOver works with all kinds of software - productivity software, utility programs, and games - all with one application.

Faster. Better experience. No license. Simple as that.

CrossOver® Linux

You are the noblest of the noble running Linux. You don't want the despair of running a Windows OS on your finely minted machine. You don't want to sell your soul for a Windows license or squander away your hard drive shekels running a virtual machine. Dual-boot? I think not! But the heart wants what the heart wants. Thousands of Windows games and programs to run on your favorite Linux distro (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, Debian, RHEL and oh so many more). Oh the conundrum.

CrossOver Linux doesn't have ye 'ole overhead of a Windows operating system or virtual machine, which means ye 'ole Windows apps will run at native speed, play games at full fps all while maintaining the Linux OS integration. Simply magic!

"Saved me from the lack of support for my genealogy software."

   - Paul
"Chalk another one up for Crossover. My girlfriend's a movie/TV costumer, and one of the few vertical-app packages around for doing costume breakdowns for movies and TV is this piece of Windows 98 abandonware. It seems to work flawlessly under Crossover. Lucky us! Now I don't have to try to get Win 98 working under Parallels, a dicey proposition now that you can't patch it any more via Microsoft."

"Thanks for giving me the experience of playing a windows based game on my Mac!"
