beware - this product is now dangerous! - Version: 8.0, 12/12/2009 05:10PM PST

I have used Crossover without problems for some years, with just a few applications. Recently I tried to install the latest IE (Internet Explorer). After downloading a large amount of material, the install failed. The result however left an additional 35 GB on my drive and noticeably slowed performance! After considerable effort, the only way I could overcome this was a COMPLETE reinstallation of my system, which in turn is a major hassle, despite having multiple types and locations of backups.
With regret, what used to be an excellent product is now dangerous.

MS Access? - Version: 8.0, 6/25/2009 11:18AM PST

Anyone know when CrossOver will be able to run MS Access 2007?
The setup process isn't too onerous, although there is some room for confusion about what's going on, particularly among novice users.
The greatest flaw is not in performance so much as capability. The major reason I wanted to use crossover was for MS Office, particularly Access. And guess what ...
I've moved over to Parallels Desktop running Win7 64, which is not without its hiccups but a much more useful alternative for me.
Having said that, if your needs aren't as great as mine, and if you're happy with the list of compatible software on the CrossOver site, I'd recommend it as an economical alternative to going out and buying a "cheap" PC (remembering always that you tend to get what you pay for - hence I'm back on a MacBook Pro).
