[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1865060, member: 38864"] I personally very much prefer Wineskin/Porting Kit over Crossover, partly because they let you make standalone packages that make Windows apps launch and run much like any native Mac app but mainly because those packages are more flexible and can be better tailored for each app. But that preference aside, running a Windows app under WINE (whether it's Crossover or Wineskin) will usually perform significantly better than running that same app in Windows using a VM, and certainly more conveniently than rebooting into Windows. There's nothing wrong with keeping both options available and using whichever one works best for a given app. EDIT: Oh wow! I just read that the newly-released Crossover 20 now supports DirectX 11. This is pretty HUGE! Getting DX11 support under WINE has long been a highly desired yet seemingly impossible task. [/QUOTE]
