(Kinda) pay what you want for 10 Mac apps. (I tried $0, they tell you "Your payment amount must be between $8 and $10,000!") Whole list:
Haven't heard of any of them before except Crossover, but some of the others look like they could be useful too.
FYI - after you order, they send you 10 seperate emails with licence keys for each app.
Has anybody had experience with these programs, are they quality software?
Are they spammers if you give them your email?
I'm not sure about creatable.co, but I bought a very similar bundle of software a few months ago, and tbh CrossOver was more trouble than it's worth.
It's just a glorified Wine package, which is free normally.
Something like Parallels in the Crystal mode? (IIRC) is a much better alternative.
It's a deal yes, but not much of one. But hey, $8 is $8.
Did you find wine to be as good as CrossOver? I have an old CrossOver and it does run some Windows native code, didn't try Wine.
Isn't Parallel much more expensive than $8.
Yes Parallels is a lot more expensive, but I'd rather use that and not have to fight to get things to work.
Parallels I know almost anything that runs on a PC will work, whereas with CrossOver they have a compatibility list you have to check.
Not all programs are just going to work.
Wine I used for a little bit but was never 100% successful, always had some issues.
If the program you want to run is on the compatibility list as being 100%, then by all means go ahead :)
@rdx: just because you brought in parallels, I was wondering whether parallels is better than vmware fusion for Mac?
I've been using vmware fusion for work, but never really use it for games. But I believe it will be rather difficult to run Windows game (which require intense graphic) on a vm?, which then might better of using bootcamp?
@televisi: Bootcamp for sure will be superior, but Parallels is known for being better optimised for games :)
I've bought the Pick a Bundle they ran a month or so ago and haven't been spammed so far. I personally like Crossover, with the caveat that its compatibility is nowhere near as good as a dedicated VM. If you want a Wine GUI and don't mind something more basic you could try WineBottler. Crossover's the only thing that interested me though.
Paid $12 and they refunded it!!
Do you mean, they are not accepting your offer?
Then I guess it's not pay what you want then.
