Owners of Intel-based Mac will have one more way to run Windows applications, and best of all, you don't need a copy of Windows.

CodeWeavers Inc. has released a beta version of CrossOver Mac, allowing users to run Windows applications on Intel-based Macs. The difference between CrossOver Mac and Parallels Desktop is CrossOver is a WINE environment, not a virtualisation. It also means you don't need a copy of Windows to run Windows applications.

It is still in beta and TUAW reports it freezes up a few times.

CrossOver Mac will be priced at US$59.95 a copy, users can take a discount of $39.95 pre-order price.
Free 60-day beta version trial of CrossOver Mac is available for testing.
For more detail, please visit CrossOver Mac (CodeWeavers).

Counter-Strike, the most played FPS game in the world, runs perfectly under CrossOver Mac:
