14 DAY TRIAL // CrossOver Linux is an application based on Wine that permits users to install and run software that was designed for Windows operating systems. It's more than just front-end for Wine, and it comes with some interesting features, so the fact that you can buy it at a big discount should catch your eye.
The company that build CrossOver also sponsors the work on Wine, which means that CrossOver taps right into the source. CrossOver is not the only application based on Wine, but it's one of the best, and that's the main reason it costs money. The developers of this app are working very hard to make serious improvements to specific apps, like Microsoft Office, for example.
The primary attribute of CrossOver is the user-friendly interface that allows users to install quickly and run Windows-only applications. It can be done from Wine as well, but it never hurts to have a good GUI that can take care of most problems.
Last chance to get CrossOver Linux with a 40% discount
The CrossOver developer organizes sales from time to time, and they don't usually last for too long. The current 40% discount is set to end on March 31 (that's today) at 11.59 PM CDT (Central Daylight Time). You will have to use the code FORTYEIGHT, which will give you a month of support and upgrades. That means that you have less than a day to buy it.
"CrossOver Linux is the easiest way to run Microsoft Windows apps on Linux without buying a Windows license, rebooting or using a virtual machine. CrossOver 14 Linux easily launches Windows apps natively on popular Linux distros like Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, Debian, RHEL and more. CrossOver Linux runs Windows productivity software, utility programs, and games all in one application. And without the overhead of a virtual machine programs and games can run as fast or faster than they would under a Windows operating system," reads the official website.
You can also try it first, before buying it, so you can download the CrossOver Linux 14.0 trial right now from the Softpedia. Keep in mind that it only lasts for 14 days, after which you're going to have to purchase it.
