A new option to run Windows programs on Macs
Tomorrow at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco, St. Paul-based company CodeWeavers begins selling new software that will let Mac OS users run some Windows programs on their machines.
CrossOver Mac allows some Windows applications to work on newer model Macs. With CrossOver Mac, users could run Microsoft Outlook to get their email, for example, even though Outlook is not a Mac OSX-compatible program.
Julio Ojeda-Zapata, technology columnist for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, says at $60, CrossOver Mac is a less-expensive way live in both the Mac and PC worlds. But he says the program has limitations.
