Running Windows Applications On A Mac Without Windows CrossOver 14.1.3 Review

Running Windows applications on Linux and Mac systems has come a long way. I remember doing virtual machines, like QEMU, and VirtualBox, running a guest in Vista or XP, and while it does run as expected, the overhead costs of running a whole operating system in a VM environment can be big (I still do use these programs, particularly VBox for development purposes).

Around 2004-2007ish, I’ve was doing some application testings for a little program named WINE (I also have a friend, Tom Wickline, of Wine Reviews, who incidentally was the indirect reason why I created this blog in the first place (we did a review of PlayOnLinux in the past together, and it was so much fun, that I created this blog out of a whim). No, WINE is not a alcoholic drink, but instead it is rather a program that emulates different Windows APIs in linux and mac systems. It was also a challenge to compile for beginners too (I do not compile in mainstream linux OSes in the past but rather in smaller hobbyist type Linuxes like Alinux/PeanutLinux or PCLinuxOS). Real life happened though, so I had to give up this hobby.

The advantage of running WINE over Virtual Machine solutions is no overhead costs and the application runs at particularly native speeds. The disadvantage of running WINE is that not all programs run (Windows has a lot of APIs under the hood, and WINE doesn’t implement all of them).

In this particular article, I am running CrossOver 14.1.3 for Mac, on an early 2011 MacBook Pro (8,1) with 4GB of RAM and Intel HD 3000 Graphics (384MB Shared Memory Display).

Also for this particular experiment, I am installing a CodeWeavers supported application (Microsoft Office 2007), and two unsupported, but community supported applications (Mass Effect, and Tomb Raider 2013)

Before We Start
Before we start, let us see the levels of compatibility in these programs according to WINE compatibility levels:

Bronze – programs can install and run, with fundamental functionalities intact. However, the applications running have enough bugs that CodeWeavers advises running them with caution (save early and often).

Silver – programs can install and run well enough to be usable. There are however bugs that are found to let the program run flawlessly.

Gold – programs can install and run as you would expect if you are running Windows.

A further level of support for CodeWeavers is officially supported. That means if your application is in the list of officially supported applications, CodeWeavers is dedicated to bring up the level of compatibility higher (for example, supported bronze applications is expected to be brought up to silver level applications of CodeWeaver in future versions of CrossOver).

Microsoft Office (Officially Supported, Bronze)
Microsoft Office is an Office Suite of Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Presentation Software, among others. It is basically the proprietary equivalent of LibreOffice/OpenOffice. As such, CrossOver supports Microsoft Office officially.

CODEWEAVERS LAUNCHES CROSSOVER 14

Update includes support for new “Yosemite” Mac Operating System
Runs Quicken 2015, many newer games; Includes latest, greatest Wine 1.7.25
 
SAINT PAUL, Minn (October 16, 2014) — CodeWeavers, Inc., developer of CrossOver—the easiest, fastest way to run Windows software on Mac and Linux, announced today the release of CrossOver 14. With CrossOver 14, you can run thousands of Windows software titles, without the need to buy a Windows OS license.

CrossOver 14 features support for Apple’s latest operating system release of Mac OS 10.10, more commonly known as “Yosemite,” which was released on 16 October, 2014. CrossOver 14 works “out-of-the-box” with Yosemite, and will give Mac users all the benefits from this much anticipated OS release.
CrossOver 14 contains support for many newer Windows applications, a prominent example being Quicken 2015. CrossOver also supports many games, including new support for the very popular Hearthstone (on Linux), as well as other titles such as Cube World, Path of Exile, Warcraft III, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Terraria, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and Xenonauts. CrossOver also runs thousands of other Windows titles of all types.

CrossOver 14 also includes the very latest release of Wine: Wine 1.7.25. Wine is an open-source software allowing Windows programs to be run on Unix-based operating systems without the need for Windows itself. Wine also delivers superior performance and simplicity compared with virtual machine. The latest release, Wine 1.7.25, embodies another year’s worth of Wine development, including nearly 5,000 new patches and application improvements to hundreds of different Windows applications.
CrossOver 14 is available immediately at www.CodeWeavers.com.

Run Windows apps on both OS X & Linux with CrossOver 12.5

Don't want to dual-boot your Mac or Linux PC to run one or two Windows apps? Don't want to install a full virtual operating system for them? CodeWeaver's latest version of CrossOver 12.5 may be just what you want.

Most Mac and Linux users think anything Windows can do their operating systems can do better. Often, they're right, but then there comes that day when they really need to run that one special Windows application and then they're stuck.

Run Windows programs from your Linux desktop or Mac? With CrossOver, it's easy. There are many ways of handling this. Some people keep old Windows PC around; others dual boot their computers; and quite a few run virtual machines (VM)s of Windows on their Linux PCs and Macs. That's all fine, but it's also a fair amount of trouble.

Then, there's CodeWeaver's approach: Use a program, CrossOver, which enables you to install and run the one or two Windows applications you need on your favorite operating system. CrossOver is based on the open-source project Wine, an implementation of the Windows application programming interface (API) on top of the Unix/Linux operating system family. For each application, CrossOver/Wine creates a small Windows virtual machine just for that program.

You actually don't need CrossOver to run Windows applications on Linux or a Mac. You can do it with Wine alone -- if you know precisely what you're doing. What CrossOver gives you is easy, automated installation of Windows applications, and technical support. And in this latest version, the CrossOver interface has been improved so it's easier than ever to install and manage Windows applications.

The latest version -- CrossOver 12.5, which is based on Wine 1.6 -- supports  thousands of Windows programs. These include: Quicken, Adobe Photoshop, various versions of the Microsoft Office suite; and, of course lots and lots of games. On the fun side of computing, CrossOver supports Guild Wars, World of Warcraft, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and thousands of others.

Not all programs run equally well. Before you invest in buying CrossOver, which runs $59.95, you'll want to take CodeWeavers up on its offer of a free two-week trial to make sure that your particular must-have program will run right with it.

In particular, this latest version offers better support for Microsoft Outlook, Quicken, Internet Explorer 7, and improved compatibility with the Microsoft Office suite. The company has also fixed several crashes and made numerous usability improvements.

This edition also offers a real improvement in its interoperability with Mac OS X. CrossOver 12.5, which will run with Snow Leopard or later, now has the"Mac Driver" technology enabled by default for all applications. The company claims that this brings improved integration with the OS X desktop environment and improves functions such as drag-and-drop, command-tab switching, Dock and Menu Bar integration, and window transparency. In my limited testing with my Mountain Lion-powered Mac Mini, Mac Driver lived up to these claims.

On Linux, CrossOver boasts a new user interface. This makes it much easier to launch your installed Windows applications. I also found it easier in general to install Windows apps on Linux with CrossOver 12.5. CrossOver isn't perfect. Many Windows applications won't run properly with it. But, many will work with it, and if you only need a couple of Windows apps to make your Linux or Mac computing life complete then CrossOver may well be exactly what you need.

Give it a try and find out for yourself. It won't cost you a thing.

CodeWeavers CrossOver 12.2.0 has been released for Linux and Mac

Here is the release announcement from Josh Dubois...

Hello all,

 I am pleased to announce the release of CodeWeavers CrossOver 12.2.0 for both Mac OS X and Linux.  We have made many substantial improvements to CrossOver since our last release.

 In this release, as in our last one, we have made Quicken more stable and usable.  We have made improvements to some games running in full-screen mode, including Wizard 101.  We have improved the stability of Office 2007, and fixed a bug with running applications that rely on the .Net 4.0 Framework.  For Chinese-language speakers, we have fixed a bug which caused Traditional Chinese to be used even when a user's preferences were set to Simplified Chinese.

 On the Mac OS, we have continued to improve our new Mac Driver technology. This release includes support for drag and drop in the Mac Driver, as well as changes which should improve the visual experience and reduce window flicker.  The Mac Driver is maturing rapidly and will be the default option in our next major release. All experienced CrossOver users are invited to turn it on and see how it works.

 With the recent release of Ubuntu 13.04, we experienced another bug which caused CrossOver to fail to register itself.  This release fixes that, and is back-dated so any user who had support when 13.04 was released a few days ago will be able to download and install CrossOver 12.2.0.

 Lastly, for any interested games, the Dungeons and Dragons Neverwinter beta started today and it is running in CrossOver 12.2.0.  

 As always, if you are an existing customer with an active support entitlement, you can download our latest version from <http://www.codeweavers.com> and use it.  Mac customers who have automatic updates enabled and who are entitled to this update will receive it automatically.  

 If CrossOver 12.2 asks you for registration credentials, use the same email and password which you used to purchase CrossOver from <http://www.codeweavers.com>.  If you have any trouble, email info@codeweavers.com for help.

 A complete changelog for CrossOver 12.2 is included below.

 Thank you all for your support, and we hope you enjoy CrossOver 12.2!

You can use ( TOM23 ) as your Promo Code in CodeWeavers store you will save 15% off CrossOver for Mac or Linux!

Change Log For CrossOver

12.1.1 CrossOver - January 25, 2013

• Mac OS X:
  • Resolved an issue where CrossOver would not register via a serial code.

12.1.0 CrossOver - January 23, 2013

• Mac OS X:
  • We have fixed a bug where certain users who chose "Register for all users of this computer" during CrossOver's registration would receive an error claiming their bottle had "expired" and could not be used, despite the user having a valid CrossOver license.
  • We have added a preference setting allowing the user to control what CrossOver does with an unknown Windows .exe file when it is launched. Using this preference, the user can tell CrossOver either to treat the unknown .exe file as an application installer, or to simply run it.
  • CrossOver will now auto-update CrossTie files if the user has permitted auto-updates of CrossOver itself via Sparkle.
  • Fixed a bug where automatic updates via Sparkle would fail for some users on OS X 10.6.8.
  • Fixed a bug which caused several games to fail when running in fullscreen mode. Games which should be improved include StarCraft, Fallout, and, we hope, many others.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented some users from logging into World of Tanks servers.
• Linux:
  • Running Guild Wars 2 on Ubuntu 12.04 with CrossOver 12 triggered a bug in the Compiz window manager which caused a CPU spike. We have added a registry key which can be used to disable the feature which caused Guild Wars 2 to trigger this bug, thus making the game playable with Compiz on Ubuntu.
  • Fixed an issue where the screen would go blank during the installation of some programs.
• CrossOver:
  • CrossOver no longer ships Wine-Mono, an open-source replacement for .Net, by default. We had started doing this for CrossOver 12 but the large increase in download size and disk space usage proved too much. CrossOver can still download and install Wine-Mono as-needed.
  • We have fixed a bug which caused CrossOver to print unnecessary error messages when launching Windows applications, complaining that certain icon files could not be found.
  • New translations for Polish & Chinese (China), and a partial translation for Italian.
• Application Support:
  • Fixed connection errors with Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 when connecting to hosted Exchange servers.
  • Fixed a bug which caused adding a table of contents to a Microsoft Word document to fail.
  • Fixed an issue where Quicken failed to download WebConnect and QFX files.
  • Fixed an issue where Quicken crashed viewing investment details.
  • Fixed an issue where Quicken crashed when expanding columns in reports.
  • Fixed a bug which caused clicking on a promotional offer in Quicken to crash.
  • Fixed some connection failures with Quicken 2011.
  • Fixed an issue where rotated text was garbled in PowerPoint 2010.
  • Fixed a bug selecting shapes in Visio 2010.
  • Fixed a crash on launch in HCFA-1500.
