This won’t always be free, but while it is I think it will be interesting to many of you. If your Mac has an Intel chip, CrossOver Mac is another way of running Windows programs. The major difference between this app and competing products like Parallels or Bootcamp is that CrossOver doesn’t require you to own a copy of Windows. Instead of emulating a PC, CrossOver emulates Windows itself, so Bill doesn’t make a dime when you use CrossOver. This won’t work with every Windows program, but it’s worth a try if you need this sort of functionality.

UPDATE: I’ve had a couple of reports of this application not working very well. It’s definitely in beta form and only works with a handful of applications. (I’ve seen Bootcamp and Parallels in action and they work like champs.) I can only recommend CrossOver if you’re adventurous. This probably won’t be the right thing for most people.
