*CrossOver Mac and Linux Products Free Today
Only*<http://feeds.gawker.com/%7Er/lifehacker/full/%7E3/434714531/crossover-mac-and-linux-products-free-today-only>
Mac OS X and Linux only: *CrossOver*, a commercially-modified version of the
free WINE <http://winehq.org/> platform that lets Linux and Mac users run
Windows apps semi-natively, is giving away free licenses for all their
products today. That's pretty great news for anyone who's tried to run
Microsoft Office, higher-end games, or any other Windows app through WINE
and found out through later Google-ing that a *CrossOver* product like
Office or Games was required. The license is good for one free app, normally
$40 or so, and while *CrossOver* products can't run every Windows product,
they might help those trying to make the Linux (or Mac) switch. The deal is
good for today only, and CodeWeavers' site appears slammed this morning, so
keep checking back—unless you think another one of the CodeWeavers CEO's Lame
Duck goals <http://lameduck.codeweavers.com/> will be hit, like it did with
gas prices in Minneapolis-St. Paul recently. *Update: CodeWeavers has
a temporary
license/download page <http://down.codeweavers.com/> posted while their
servers are down.*
