Well, CrossOver lets you run many Windows applications on a Mac WITHOUT installing Windows! Now THAT'S cool! Kinda creepy too.

This group isn't the place to get into the subject but briefly Microsoft will take you and crush you like a recalcitrant insect if they catch you with a dodgy copy installed on your computer and they are rather vigourous in their protection of their EULA to the point of, I believe, AU $275,000 for a business and somewhere in the vicinity of AU $40,000 for a user. I'm not preaching here...I don't like them at all, but I thought it best to mention the dangers of fooling with unlicensed copies of their junk software even in a virtual machine for members of this group. Microsoft take no prisoners. Bones On Sat, 2009-04-11 at 02:26 -0400, Steve Stamm wrote: > Bob, > > There IS a way if you want to try it.
