I just thought I'd let my fellow appleheads know about this program that came in a torrent i downloaded. Basically it's a mac based program to allow you to run .exe files. It's pretty awesome to run all those files that you couldn't normally run especially some games and shit. Here's a link to the torrent file for the program. http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/30673637/crossover?tab=summary If you've ever wanted to run those pesky .exe file's check this out.

apparently its excellent to play counter-strike, half-life, but it sucks for big apps like office, adobe, etc.
havent tried it for small .exe tho, it seems like it should work fine.

I haven't had much of a reason to use it yet but so far I really like it and it's nice to just have sitting around in case.

what are you trying to run? I found out it doesn't work for games and shit it has to be a pretty simple .exe app.

Maybe it's not a program, but rather a plugin?
