1. Does anyone have any experience/reviews with Crossover?
2. I do not want to buy Windows XP for my Macbook. I wanted to install AOL for windows because I do not like the AOL for MAC version. Is this possible?
-
If it has the same performance as WINE, it is OK at best. Other than that I cannot really comment. It is nothing like running Parallels or Boot Camp. It does not support every Windows program, in fact, it doesn't support most Windows programs.
As for installing AOL through Crossover I doubt it will work. Have you thought of going with a cheaper dial-up service? I assume you cannot get high-speed. -
I'm not that overwhelmed by CrossOver Mac. It hardly runs anything it wasn't made for.
I would recommend Parallels instead or going for Boot Camp. -
Yes, parallels is a good option but then he would have to buy windows as well. I would also recommend ditching AOL if possible. At least here, they have crappy services, including proprietary based browsers and proxy servers that won't let you truly use the internet, causing a mess with a lot of protocols. They think of it as a extension to their network, not the other way round. But if you must use (or if you really like it) than go buy Parallels and a copy of Windows, it wont be cheap but it will work as a charm. Make sure you have 1GB of RAM though.
Experience with Crossover?
