As US petrol prices have fallen below $2.79 per gallon one of the criteria for Codeweavers' "Great American Lame Duck Presidential Challenge" has been met.

"We are giving away all of our software for free on Tuesday, October 28th, 2008. This is a fully working, fully supported copy of either CrossOver Mac Professional, or CrossOver Linux Professional. No hooks, tricks, timebombs, or gimmicks: it's the real deal."

I've got my serial, now I just have to wait for their servers to come back online so I can register :)

Product Description
Intended for Intel Mac OS X machines, CrossOver Mac will allow Mac users to run their favorite Windows applications and games seamlessly on their Mac. Windows files can be opened directly within your file browser, or from email attachments. No rebooting, no switching to a virtual machine, and no Windows Operating System license required; CrossOver is a complete replacement for your Windows OS as far as your Windows software is concerned.


CrossOver Mac allows you to install popular Windows applications and games on Mac OS X machine. It includes an easy to use, single click interface for simple and fast installation. Once installed, your application integrates seamlessly in OS X -- just click and run your application directly from the OS X Finder. Clicking a Windows file or document - including email attachments - will launch the appropriate Windows program, allowing you to work on the files. Best of all, you do it all easily and affordably, without needing a Microsoft operating system license. Place your install CD in your Mac -- CrossOver will recognize it and offer to begin the installation process. CrossOver then completes the installation and configures your application to run on your Mac. That's all there is to it!

Worth $60 :eek:
 
Site appears to be down :(

Has anyone used this software to play games? I was just about to buy Vista so I could play COH of my iMac. This would certainly be a cheaper alternative - or even free if the site comes back up!!
 
Yeah.. I got to the initial site but the link from there died... Now the whole shooting match ist kaput.

Seems to have nuked the server !!

lol

Earlier today when part of the site was still up they said the registration servers would be brought back up tomorrow and you can then use the emailed serial to register and download the full version for 48 hours.

I've downloaded the unlocked installers they now have on their site. Will have a play around them later.

lol, they must be getting properly hammered if they had to take their serial generation/email script offline!

I hope they publish stats on the number of hits and registrations they receive today.
