CrossOver is a great program. It runs on Intel Macs running OSX, Linux computers, and Linux and Solaris servers. The program allows you to run Windows programs on aforementioned OSes. There are literally thousands of programs you can use with CrossOver that you would not have been able to use without. It is a $60 program, that if you preorder, is $40. It was made by CodeWeavers, and runs on the Wine engine with a GUI, one click installation, and frankly, doesn't suck.

CrossOver Server:
CrossOver Server allows you to run your favorite Windows productivity applications in a distributed thin-client environment under Linux, without needing Microsoft Operating System licenses for each client machine. CrossOver Server allows you to satisfy the needs of literally hundreds of concurrent users, all from a single server.
CrossOver Server is also a great addition to Solaris environments, since our built-in support for Solaris desktops makes running Windows applications a possibility on Sun workstations as well. This makes CrossOver Server an outstanding choice for engineering, CAD/CAM, scientific, and other high-performance workgroup computing environments.
With CrossOver Server, you get all the benefits of the Linux server environment: robustness, high availability, and openness. CrossOver Server also contains a suite of management tools that allow you to easily monitor system and application usage. Best of all, we do it at a cost per seat that puts Citrix and Windows Terminal Server to shame, while at the same time providing you with a No Hassle License Policy that makes your life easier.
CrossOver Mac:
(Its such a complete virtualization, the copy, paste, new, etc. hotkeys become the Windows ones, Ie: ctrl c for copy instead of cmd c)
CrossOver Mac allows you to install many popular Windows applications and games on Mac OS X. CrossOver includes an easy to use, single click interface, which makes installing Windows software simple and fast. Once installed, your application integrates seamlessly in OS X. Just click and run your application directly from the OS X Finder. Clicking a Windows file or document — including email attachments — will launch the appropriate Windows program, allowing you to work on the files. Best of all, you do it all easily and affordably, without needing a Microsoft operating system license.
Adding new Windows software is easy. Just place your install CD in your Mac, and CrossOver will recognize it and offer to begin the installation process. CrossOver then completes the installation and configures your application to run on your Mac. That's all there is to it.
CrossOver Linux:
CrossOver Linux allows you to install many popular Windows productivity applications, plugins and games in Linux, without needing a Microsoft Operating System license. CrossOver includes an easy to use, single click interface, which makes installing a Windows application simple and fast. Once installed, your application integrate seamlessly with your Gnome or KDE environment. Just click and run your application, exactly as you would in Windows, but with the full freedom of Linux.
Installing your Windows software is easy. Just place your application CD into your PC, and CrossOver will recognize it and offer to begin the installation process. CrossOver then completes the installation and configures your application to run under Linux. That's all there is to it.
CrossOver Linux lets you use many Windows plugins directly from your Linux browser. Plugin works on any x86 based Linux distribution and will integrate with most browsers including Firefox 1.x, Netscape 6.x, Konqueror, Mozilla, and Opera. CrossOver also integrates with Gnome and KDE to let you transparently open any Word, Excel or PowerPoint file. But even better, you can open these attachment types directly from any mail client. Because CrossOver uses the native Windows plugins, you get the best compatibility possible.
One Application: Two Delicious Flavors!
We've created two versions of CrossOver Linux — Standard and Professional — to serve our home-user/enthusiast and corporate markets even better. CrossOver Linux Standard provides individual users with the ability to run a wide variety of Windows software cleanly and economically. CrossOver Linux Professional provides corporate users with the enhanced deployability and manageability features their environments demand.

Hassle Free Policy
At CodeWeavers, we believe strongly that the keys to effective licensing are simplicity, flexibility, and a basic trust in our customers.
First of all, we believe that the sensible way to license software is on a per concurrent user basis. That is, we expect that you will compensate us according to the number of users that can be reasonably expected to be using the software at the same time. In essence, this is the old 'treat it like a book' school of licensing philosophy.
Second, we have built in no limits or controls on our software. Instead, we have built tools to make it easy for you to monitor your license usage. We trust that you will square up with us if you exceed your purchased licenses.
Finally, we're happy to provide discounts and flexible licensing terms for larger installations. We also stand ready to sell you an unlimited site license (at a very competitive price) that will allow you to run our software on as many servers, for as many client seats, as you please. All backed up by the same great support that you've come to expect from CodeWeavers.
