Dubbed CrossOver Android, the project has been in development for the past year, and while it’s still in an Alpha state, it looks like it is already capable of running Windows software on Intel-based Chromebooks and Android tablets. Since then, the project kept updating CrossOver for Android with new features. The latest Alpha version of CrossOver Android was released a few days ago, and it looks like it brings support for Google’s Android Nougat mobile operating system, better support for running Microsoft Office on Chromebooks, support for 64-bit file offsets to allow the use of very large files, and some visual enhancements to the UI.
