Oh the original :)
It is a secure site so try this:
CrossOver 14 | Run Windows apps on Mac and Linux | CodeWeavers
CrossOver Linux (by Codeweavers) looks like a variation of "Wine" ... for a fee
Their site dumped 3 cookies on my PC
It kind of looks like Play on Linux, which uses a customized version of wine. Play on Linux is fair. Still can't get Microsoft works 7 to work on Linux even with wine.
That may explain why I couldn't get onto their site: I block all cookies unless they are needed to do business with a site or to log into a site for posting privileges. If a site thinks it needs to plant a cookie on my computer or even log in just to browse it, it can just get stuffed.
Correct you are paying for the support and the "fixes to get stuff to install and work under Linux". Nothing wrong with that. As for cookies who cares. They tell you they use them. I am able to visit those sites and I just delete cookies afterwards. If you don't allow cookies you don't get on the site. You can't help some people. It is your PC so you do as you please of course. I have tested Mint Mate 17.2 on my Toshiba Laptop and on the whole it is a viable replacement for Windows 7 once 7 is End of Life. Sticking with 7 till the EOL and playing with Linux. Instead of learning the crap that is Windows 10 I am going over to Linux. There is even a media center Distro OS for a Media PC. Microsoft has "jumped the shark". The nut job in charge is in the land of rainbows and unicorns.
Oops IndianaTone, I think you quoted the wrong person. Play on Linux is free but you can donate, CrossOver Linux is trial software that only works for limited time without payment. Crossover can charge for the software that doesn't violate the gpl. The rest of GPL licenses is confusing to me.
I have been looking at sales figures of W-10. The accounting systems of the world must of changed.
They are counting the free (give away) W-10 in the total for sales.
I could spend large amounts of money advertise free used cat litter and create a line at my door.
When all the stories, likes, dislikes ect. come out the final analysis will be like any other product.
How many units were SOLD and what is the PROFIT in total and per unit.
I might be Googling in all the wrong places looking for actual sales of W-10 that bring income to Microsoft.
