Even as allegations of Mac “phone home” sensibilities (via gizmodo) have surfaced (read: evil), wherein your sweet and homely Mac is forced to check in with the mothership every 8 hours, there is some good news to bring the universe back into alignment… CrossOver Mac promises to allow you to run Windows applications within Mac OS X. Planning to ship in early August, this app, while anticipated widely, arrived a bit sooner than expected. Based on Wine, an open source “compatibility layer” for *nix and Mac OS X, the package will retail for $59.99 and will draw a considerable huzzah from that annoying Mac guy (right) in the Apple commercials. Of course we all want CrossOver Mac, but nobody wants to be mr hoodie.
