CrossOver is having a great sale on Crossover Bundle for the Mac-normally $49, today $18 and it goes up a $1 a day to match the date til the end of the month.
Yea, I know---I wish I had known about this earlier in the month also :-)

Remember, you don't install Windows, and there are no Microsoft license issue, and it will not get Windows viruses or MalWare.
I do not work for them, but they gave a great presentation at our Sacramento Mac User Group last night and thought it was a great deal for all.. http://www.macnexus.org/

I downloaded it (along with Crossover Games) sometimes in 2008 Presidential Lame Duck giveaway (or something like that). I don't even know what version it is since I never instaleld it. What version is this? is there any major change from the 2008 version to justify $18?

Might be worth $18 just to see, but, OTOH, I have 4 Win7 licenses - so I don't really need it. There are two apps that I need to boot Windows for - the USPS shipping assistant app and for depositing scanned checks to my bank account - for some reason, the bank web page java app doesn't recognize my scanner using Safari or FF, yet it works fine using FF on Windows via Parallels. Go figure.
Oh well…

I tried using Crossover but never really got it to work well. I much preferred using http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/overview.html which worked with everything for me.

Thanks.
Grabbed a copy. I was running Version 8 from that President's sale in 2008. The new one is Version 10.
I just tried Alien Shooter, which never worked with V8 - and it worked great now.
