So, Codeweavers, maker of the Crossover series of applications for Mac and Linux, is giving away all of their products for free today. The occasion? The price of gas dropped below $2.79 in Minneapolis. IMO, who cares anyways, it's free software :) .
Since their main site is down, however, get the serial codes for the programs at http://lameduck.codeweavers.com/free/, and you can download the program within 2 days and activate it then. They normally retail for 40 bucks.Product description:
CrossOver Mac:
Our flagship Windows-to-Macintosh compatibility tool. Intended for Intel Mac OS X machines, CrossOver Mac will allow Mac users to run their favorite Windows applications 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 Games:
Based on the latest Wine Games development work, CrossOver Games allows Mac and Linux users to run their favorite Windows games in the environment of their choice. No rebooting, no switching to a virtual machine, and no Windows Operating System license required; CrossOver gives you the best performance possible if you're not running on Windows.CrossOver Linux:
Our flagship Windows-to-Linux desktop productivity tool. Allows you to run many popular office productivity software applications on Linux, such as Microsoft Office, Lotus Notes, Microsoft Project and Visio, graphics applications like Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, Flash MX, and Adobe Photoshop, and many more. Not only that, but CrossOver Linux also allows you to use many Windows Web browser plugins, such as QuickTime and Shockwave, directly on your Linux browser. Runs on many popular Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Redhat, Novell, Suse, Xandros, Mandriva and others. No Windows Operating System license required; CrossOver is a complete replacement for your Windows OS as far as your applications are concerned.
Anyways I'm going to go test if this can run Photoshop on my Ubuntu machine better than Wine.

It's not, I've got some other good (similar) software for free thanks to offers like this; hell I've even got commercial OSes for free (linspire 5.0, and 4.0 back when it was called lindows).
