  Thanks to CrossOver we can use programs like the Microsoft Office suite or games based on the Steam platform like Half-Life 2, Prey or even the addictive World of Warcraft and its expansions. And all of this in a practically native way.

  CrossOver is nothing more than commercial implementation of the renowned Wine. Once installed it integrated perfectly with GNOME and KDE so that the applications that we launch don't seen out of place with the system. Its capabilities are so high, that it has no problem at all to make use of the sound hardware or to make the most of the video card  with 3D games.
