Codeweavers Crossover Linux/Mac Pro **FREE TODAY ONLY**

[Fourstar]

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

I've downloaded and got my code but i cant register

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.

what when you get somthing for free it should be straight away......

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.

Wait...so this is Wine? But I have Wine... I dont get what the difference is

Have a look at the bottom of this page:
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/differences/

AFAIK it is wine but with a simpler interface and various tweaks and patches that with time will be integrated into the main WINE tree.

Don't forget it also comes with support

I've downloaded the software, what exactly can i do with it? I'm still really new to Linux
