Wednesday, September 17, 2008:
CodeWeavers, a developer of software products that transform Mac OS X and Linux into Windows-compatible operating systems, has extended the Google Chromium launch beyond Windows. CodeWeavers has announced the release of CrossOver Chromium for Mac and Linux, available immediately as a free download.
CrossOver Chromium is offered as a proof so that Mac and Linux users can try first hand the power and flexibility of the new Chromium open source browser.

It also showcases the power of Wine that allows CodeWeavers to rapidly migrate technology from Windows to alternate platforms.
"We did this to prove a point," said Jeremy White, president and chief executive officer, CodeWeavers. "The message is very simply this: if you are a Windows software vendor, and you want to get your product into new markets, you should pay attention to Wine. Wine is a very powerful tool for bringing your product to new audiences in the Mac and Linux spaces. And in many cases, Wine is faster and more economical than doing a native port."
"This is really cool," agreed Larry Kettler, vice president, business development, Xandros, a leading Linux distribution and digital download and software management service. "CodeWeavers has demonstrated that Linux users don't have to be second-class citizens in terms of getting their hands on the latest software releases. I'm very impressed that they were able to release this just a few days after the Chromium open source project was launched."
White was quick to caution that CrossOver Chromium is still in its early stages. "CrossOver Chromium is a proof of concept built around a piece of beta code. So users shouldn't view this as a production release. It may be buggy, and they should use it with caution. Nevertheless, it is as fully functional as the Windows beta, and we think that sends an important message."
