VMWare Fusion, Parallels, and VirtualBox are popular tools that allow Mac users to virtualize Windows and use non-native Windows applications. However, an alternative option is CrossOver, which enables the native running of Windows apps on Mac without the need for an emulator. This is made possible by utilizing Wine, a free implementation of the Windows APIs designed for UNIX systems. The range of compatible applications supported by CrossOver is extensive, including well-known software such as Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, Windows Media Player 9, Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver MX, and Internet Explorer. Additionally, even 3D games like Half Life 2, Call of Duty, Counter Strike, and Portal can be run smoothly. A comprehensive list of these supported apps can be accessed by clicking here. To install a desired application, there are two methods available. First, you can insert the program's CD/DVD into your computer, and CrossOver will automatically detect and initiate the installation process. Alternatively, you can choose an installation file to proceed with the installation. It is important to note that since most Windows apps have not been specifically tested, users can evaluate CrossOver's compatibility with a particular application themselves. If you want to run a program without installing it, you can utilize the Run Command option provided by CrossOver.
