Designed from the offset to make it easier for GNU/Linux and macOS users to run applications built for the Microsoft Windows operating system on their computers, CrossOver is a well-designed graphical user interface (GUI) to the popular and open-source Wine program. It’s compatible with both GNU/Linux and macOS platforms. The latest release, CrossOver 17.5.0 is here to improve support for the Microsoft Office 2016 office suite on both GNU/Linux and macOS platforms by addressing various bug reported by users lately. According to the release notes, users should now encounter less crashes when using Microsoft Office 2016.
