Free CodeWeavers Software: Today Only

Hurry! There's only a limited time that you can still download CodeWeavers' CrossOver, an application that will let you run Windows applications on Mac OS X. I've been playing around with it for about an hour, and it hasn't accepted any of the applications I tried to install that weren't on the supported software list.

Internet Explorer 6 and Windows Media Player 9 are among the list of supported software that I did manage to get installed, however I've deleted them because I have no use for them, and to add to the fact, they're highly outdated.

You can still get the download until the end of the day today. The free giveaway was inspired by the Great American Lame Duck challenge, so get it while you can here.

Microsoft Announces New Windows Version 'sometime in the next year'

Microsoft has announced a new version of their OS "Windows" to be released in the coming year. No details have been released, but I can guess it will be fairly similar to XP and Vista, not only in features, but in flaws. With every service pack and every new version, they don't fix the issues from the previous ones, they just add on new features with more flaws. If they would take the time to fix the problems they already have instead of inventing new ones, they might not be so far behind Mac OS X in quality.
