Crossover是一款由Codewaver公司开发推出的类虚拟机软件，能让Linux和Mac OS X操作系统和window系统兼容。例如它为Windows软件提供所需的资源，以达到在Mac OS X系统上运行Windows程序的目的。
Crossover不像Parallels Desktop或VMware Fusion，它能够直接在Mac上运行Windows的软件游戏，而不需虚拟机。
在兼容程序目录中，不仅有Microsoft Office、AutoCAD、Windows Media Player 9、Adobe Photoshop、Dreamweaver MX、Internet Explorer等知名软件，还有《半条命2》、《使命召唤》、《反恐精英》、《传送门》等3D游戏。
插入程序CD/DVD或从其它设备中选择文件并安装。此外，你可以选择执行Run Command功能，在不安装程序的情况下运行该程序。
另外，Wine是CrossOvers所使用的引擎，它是一个在UNIX系统中执行Windows APIs的开源工具。

No booting required, or launching a virtual machine. No having to copy files from one file system to another. CrossOver runs directly on your Mac, and so does your Windows software.
One Click Installation
Our CrossTie technology is a major step forward for CrossOver users, because it makes installing Windows applications drop-dead simple. Just clicking the "Install" button in CrossOver tells CrossOver to take care of the rest. You can do the same thing from our massive Compatibility Center, which has thousands of applications with CrossTie installers. Relax, and let CrossOver do the work.
Software Runs at Native Speed
CrossOver runs natively on your Mac. Which means you don't have to run a copy of Windows. Which means you're not paying the RAM and CPU penalty for two operating systems running at the same time. Which means no bogged down, choppy performance. If you need native speed, CrossOver is the better choice.
Seamlessly Integrates with Your Desktop Environment
Since CrossOver is running on your native Mac file system, there's no need to move files back and forth between a Windows partition and OS X. Everything's in one place, right where you need it. Seamlessly Cut & Paste between Windows documents and Mac documents. Launch your Windows programs from the dock. Your Windows programs behave like native Mac applications.
Bottles
Bottles are a unique feature of CrossOver that allow separate Windows environments (XP, Win7, etc.) to be packaged and self-contained with your favorite programs. Bottles are really useful, because they let you easily backup your software, and move it from machine to machine. They also ensure that you get the right version of Windows for your application's needs. It's like having several different Windows machines operating together on your computer.
