[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1864940, member: 190607"] CrossOver is based on the open-source code called Wine: [URL="https://www.winehq.org/"]WineHQ - Run Windows applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS[/URL] Wine has been able to run on ARM-based processors for a long time now. So it isn't surprising that the CrossOver folks are adapting their product to run on Apple Silicon. [URL="https://wiki.winehq.org/ARM"]ARM - WineHQ Wiki[/URL] However, for anyone who has tried CrossOver on the Macintosh in the past...I wouldn't get your hopes too high that it will be a great solution for running Windows programs on Apple Silicon. It was never a really good solution on the Macintosh, even after many years of polishing. [/QUOTE]
