In June 2005, CodeWeavers announced a new Apple Mac OS X version of CrossOver Office called CrossOver Mac that will support Windows-to-Mac application porting on Intel-based Macs.[1] A second public beta version of CrossOver Mac was made available for free download on September 28, 2006, and a third on November 15, 2006.[2] A limited 60-day trial of Release Candidate 1 was released on December 22, 2006. A final version was released January 10, 2007. [3]
