"After extensive testing on a Linux box I can tell you
this: CrossOver works. And it works well.
As you might expect from a first release of technology with this
level of sophistication, however, there are a few quirks to contend
with. I'm going to show you both the strengths and weaknesses of
the plug-in, and show you how far you can push its capabilities. If
you're not familiar with CrossOver and how it works, take a look at
my first article that provides all of the background information
you need.
When we first looked at the technology, we had some concerns
about how it would perform under real-life conditions. After all,
users have to install the Wine libraries that enable the Windows
version of QuickTime, which is a demanding architecture even on
native platforms."
