And for ME, IE6 is useful. Of course I'd rather use Safari or FF for daily browsing, but having the ability to check IE - there are some websites (for my work, for instance) that just won't work outside IE - without having to fire up something like Parallels is great. It is free for now, so go right ahead and test whatever is most useful for you. There's a compatibility listing <a href="http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/cat" rel="nofollow">here</a> Reb -

For my purposes CrossOver is much better than Parallels or Bootcamp. I don't want or need to run Windows XP, just IE 6. I agree that the install of the app as well as IE 6 was quick and easy. As of now IE 7 not available, hopefully soon. I'll be buying a license soon. I’ve had great luck running the betas though I’m only using it to run IE 6 to check websites I’m developing.

Pertinent for the few folks that develop web content and need to verify IE function etc, but just a novelty for the rest of us (who'd use Safari or FF). How about testing Crossover on unique Windows apps like Project or Autocad, or even some other less costly but still Win-only app.? That's where these virtualization apps will be helpful -- not running Office 2003 or similar... IE 6??
