CrossOver Mac 6.1 improves 3D gaming

CodeWeavers today released CrossOver Mac 6.1 and CrossOver Linux 6.1, improving Windows 3D game performance with quicker speed frame rates. CrossOver Mac enables Mac owners to run Windows software on a Mac by sidestepping the entire Windows environment with all its accompanying issues and vulnerabilities. The update enables Outlook users to work remotely using RPC over HTTP, and adds support for more games such as Call of Duty 2. Popular Windows applications supported by CrossOver Mac 6.1 include Microsoft Office, Viseo, and Project as well as Quicken and QuickBooks. CrossOver Mac 6.1 is priced at $60, and requires an Intel-based Mac.

How about Framemaker?

Crossover needs to look at what they're doing. For games that need speed, it makes more sense to boot into Windows itself. For Office, Quicken and QuickBooks, Mac versions exist. They really need to put their efforts into supporting products that are important and have few or no Mac equivalents. Project is a good idea, but they also need to raise FrameMaker's rating from Bronze to Gold. There's nothing like it on Macs and Intel Macs can't run it in Classic.

I'm interested. I waste too much time having to d/l the boatloads of MS security updates before I actually get to run Windows. What a waste of time.

Call of Duty 2 is already on mac and plays really good on intel mac. whats the point? can you play Half Life 2 on mac with this? that's the only windows-only game I am interested in playing on mac (without bootcamp). Eventually I would like to see support for Crysis and Battlefield 2142 if they are not released for mac.
