Run Windows Programs on your Intel Mac--seemlessly?

I've have quite a few friends who have been smitten by the Mac bug (especially Intel Macs). In addition, others are considering moving that way (I won't "out" them just yet ;-) ).

Some, like John, run Parallels Desktop for Mac. Others, want to use BootCamp so they can run Vista, possibly with Aero Glass.

Today I learned about CrossOver Mac. It lets you run your Windows programs in a window without the need for VM software like VMWare for Mac or Parallels or the need to dual boot with BootCamp. In particular, with the disclaimer that I'm not a lawyer and I don't know anything yet about how CrossOver Mac works, it appears you don't need a Windows license to run a Windows program.

This is interesting indeed.

End of line.

Hi Brian (long time no see)-

I'm another one of the smitten .NET folk with a shiney new Mac laptop and Parallels... It rocks!

Just run down to the Apple store, and pick yours up... you know you want to... it will make you feel good...

Cheers-
