CrossOver 10.1.0 released and CrossOver Games 10.1.1 released

CODEWEAVERS RELEASES SUPPORT FOR LION OS
“Well, I mean, what choice did we have?” says CodeWeavers CEO.
 
SAINT PAUL, Minn. (July 18, 2011) — CodeWeavers, Inc., CodeWeavers, Inc., a leading developer of software products that turn Mac OS X and Linux into Windows-compatible operating systems, not surprisingly announced today the release of CrossOver 10.1 and CrossOver Games 10.1.1 for Mac with support for Lion OS. Both versions of CrossOver are available immediately. CrossOver allows Windows applications and games to be played on Mac and Linux PCs without the need for a Windows operating system license.

In one of its most boring press releases in ages, CodeWeavers simply announced that, yes, its flagship CrossOver products now run on Apple’s much-anticipated Lion OS release. “There wasn’t much choice in the matter, now was there?” opined Jeremy White, CodeWeavers CEO. “I mean, if we don’t ship Lion support, we look like doofuses.”

CodeWeavers Tagline Contest

So we've been thinking here at the CodeWeavers ranch that we need a good tagline to summarize what we do in a 8 words or less. Something as unforgettable as Milk's "Got Milk?" Or as timeless as Nike's "Just Do It!" Or as awesome as Timex, "Takes a licking and keeps on ticking." Sure, we could do it ourselves, but we would rather open it up to our loyal customers and fans and reward them with an 8 GB iPod touch. Enter as many taglines as you wish by filling out the form below or mailing us your submission to 700 Raymond Ave. Suite 120, St. Paul, MN 55114.. Contest runs from July 1, 2011 through July 22, 2011. The marketing department will handpick the winner and not only will you win an iPod Touch, you will also get to see your tagline displayed on our future website!
