There will always be apps, mostly games, whose publishers won’t port them to the Mac for financial or contractual reasons. CodeWeavers’ CrossOver offers a simple, convenient way to run many of those apps. The result isn’t as reliable or universal as other solutions, but it’s a lot cheaper and easier, and with CrossOver’s helpful database of app functionality and generous try-before-you-buy period, you can see whether it’ll run the apps you want to use before you commit your hard-earned cash.
CrossOver translates Windows commands into Mac ones on the fly. It’s based on the open-source WINE project, but its improvements to standard WINE make it a lot easier for everyday users to successfully run. CrossOver 22 is only available from CodeWeavers’ website.
