Why try CrossOver before you buy?
Unlike an emulator that requires a full copy of the Window OS, CrossOver translates the commands your Windows application wants to use to your installed OS and back. This translation system means you don’t need to spend hours setting up Windows OS first, you can just install your Windows application directly into CrossOver and run it.
But it’s a big process to try and recreate all the Windows OS commands, and CrossOver isn’t complete yet. Many Windows applications work great, but some might have reduced functionality, or possibly not run at all. That’s why we encourage everyone to try their favorite Windows applications first in our 14-day, completely functional trial of CrossOver and see for before purchasing.
We also maintain a large Compatibility Center database of user reports, documenting how various Windows applications run in CrossOver. If your program runs under CrossOver you’re good to go with the easiest, least expensive, and friendliest Windows compatibility software out there. And even if it doesn’t, you’ve only spent a few minutes to potentially save yourself several hundred dollars and all the hassles that come with Windows.
So before you go plunking down your hard-earned money for an emulator AND a copy of Windows AND spend an entire afternoon setting it all up, give us a try!
HTML5 roundup: new IE10 build surfaces in Windows 8 Consumer Preview
Microsoft included a new IE10 build in the Windows 8 Consumer Preview that the …
reader comments
Microsoft launched the fifth IE10 platform preview last week as part of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview. The next major version of Microsoft’s Web browser is a big step forward that will bring a wide range of modern features, advanced rendering capabilities, and greatly improved support for Web standards. After years of complacency and lagging behind other browsers, Internet Explorer is becoming highly competitive.
As Microsoft explained this week in a blog entry about the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, the operating system uses the same HTML rendering engine in both the Internet Explorer Web browser and as part of the Metro application runtime. Microsoft hopes to ensure that its HTML rendering engine is capable of supporting rich application-like user experiences.
In a second blog entry, Microsoft outlined some of the major new features that were introduced in the latest IE10 platform preview build. These include JavaScript typed arrays, cross-origin resource sharing, support for the latest WebSockets API, and Web Worker thread pooling. Microsoft says that it has also worked to improve performance in areas like animated CSS transformations.
Microsoft has also launched an IE10 «test drive» demo site to show off some of the advanced capabilities of the browser. One of the demos is a pong-style brick breaker game with smooth animations.
HTML5 bullets
The Windows 8 Consumer Preview was one of the biggest events this past week, but there were plenty of other noteworthy items to round out our HTML5 bullet list:
- Mozilla’s Hacks blog has a great new tutorial that demonstrates how Web applications can use IndexedDB, a standards-based NoSQL database for the browser, to store images and files. Mozilla also recently posted some sample JavaScript code that shows how to make a call and send SMS messages on Boot2Gecko devices.
- WebKit gained support for the JavaScript vibration API, a feature that could be useful in mobile Web applications.
- Programmer Jeff Atwood recently wrote a blog post advocating universal adoption of SSL encryption on websites where users are logged in. In his blog post, he looks at some of the performance and security implications.
- We took a look at Firefox’s new HTML inspector in our report about Firefox 10 last month. That feature is just the start of the browser’s new built-in developer tool suite. Web developer Andi Smith has published a detailed overview of other features that are coming soon. You can also see a video tour on YouTube.
- An open source software project called Guacamole is developing an HTML5 remote desktop client that can run entirely within a Web browser without requiring any browser plugins. It currently supports VNC and aims to offer near-native performance.
- Ben Galbraith did a deep dive into how Netflix uses HTML5 to build its application user experiences.
Crumbs from the cookie jar
In case you missed it, here’s the biggest developing story that we reported about the open Web this week:
Mozilla and Telefónica announced that they partnered to develop the Boot2Gecko project into a complete mobile operating system that will be deployed later this year on hardware. Be sure to check out our extensive coverage of the platform.
