Today marks a major milestone for me, personally, for CodeWeavers, and for the Wine project.
Not only did we ship CrossOver 7, our best CrossOver yet, but we, together with the rest of the Wine community, shipped Wine 1.0 today.
Wine 1.0 has been 15 years in the making, and includes 9 of the hardest years I've ever worked in my life. When I became involved with Wine and Free Software in 1999, the concept that you could successfully give away your work and still stay in business was foreign; Open Source business models were laughed at, Linux was unknown, and everyone was just waiting for Apple to die. Using an operating system not made in Redmond was considered ridiculous.

An Introduction to Wine
A semi-technical examination of Wine: what's under the hood, what the potential is for the technology, etc.
Viruses (not) on Wine
Why Windows viruses find it very difficult to run under Wine, and how this protects CrossOver users when they're running Windows applications such as Outlook.
Testimonials
"I just wanted to say WOW! I found myself looking back to the desktop a couple of times to verify that I was indeed still running Linux!"
- Marty S.
"Installation was pleasantly painless (a thorn with many linux apps), and it was intuitive and easy to use. Thanks, and keep up the good work!"
- Marty S.
This 4.1 is the slickest ever. It's well worth the money for a nifty interface to WINE and not having to set the whole WINE environment up.
- Bruce
"In general, running CrossOver Office was so similar to using Office on a standard Windows system that it was sometimes difficult to remember the PC was actually running Linux."
- Michelle Delio - Wired
Website Updates
We have added a videos section to our website. This new section will show CrossOver in action running Windows applications and games on Mac and Linux.
Also feel free to check out our shiny new Forums section. Use this area of the website to discuss about CrossOver.
Unsupported Builds. We now provide unsupported builds to our customers. These builds are right from our development tip. They are bleeding edge, but note: We will not offer technical support, if you decide to use them.
