Last spring, I was frustrated, because it seemed like many Mac users were not aware of CrossOver Mac. CrossOver is so much faster and easier to try than any of the other alternatives, it seems a crime to me that every Mac user doesn't try it first. It's not always the perfect solution, but when it works, it is very sweet.
However, since we believe in Free Software, and provide all of our core work to the free Wine Project, we're not exactly rolling in the marketing dough. So we had lunch with our PR firm to see what we could do with a bit of creativity. We had a lot of ideas, and this scheme of doing a Lameduck Challenge came up just as I had to leave the meeting. The idea was we'd give our software away for free if George Bush could accomplish any of a range of fairly challenging goals.

"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
"It still amazes me, when I click on that little Windows icon in my KDE Panel and Word loads 'as if on Windows', on my Linux system, in about three seconds flat."
- Rick Lehrbaum, DesktopLinux.com
"Plugin did exactly what you said it would do, right away. I ran the script, clicked a few buttons, and it worked. Talk about good work!"
