Free download of CrossOver for Linux and Mac today

CrossOver is a commercial version of WINE.  Linux users know what it is.

CodeWeavers has kept to its "election promise" and, from 05:00 GMT this morning, has been allowing anyone who wants to download a copy of the Windows compatibility system for Linux or Mac OS X to get the product free-of-charge. CrossOver is a company that sells a commercial version of the WINE Windows compatibility software; this allows many Windows applications, including Microsoft Office and games, to run on Linux and Mac OS X by redirecting calls to Windows operating system functions to the underlying operating system's equivalent. As well as organising giveaways of its software, CodeWeavers also employs a number of WINE developers.
The free download offer will run for 24 hours and allows users to download a version with 12 months of email support and upgrades that normally costs £38. US citizens affected by power cuts from Superstorm Sandy and unable to participate will find a special Sandy page running from 1 November.
