[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 747122, member: 24098"] Just a guess, but I think he or she is referring to the fact that CrossOver creates a file structure in your home folder that emulates the Windows file structure. There, all of your DLLs, simulated registry and other Windows-based conundrums are stored. Of course, you can always axe this directory should you feel the need to abandon CrossOver, but it still introduces an element of complexity that would otherwise not need to be there when running Windows via VM. For compatibility, security and stability reasons, in my opinion, running Windows via Parallels or Fusion is the best option. CrossOver (and other WINE-based solutions) are nothing more than an elegant hack. [/QUOTE]
