CrossOver Office is a commercial program that allows many Windows -based Applications to run on Linux and (forthcoming) Apple Mac OS X — without installation of Microsoft Windows.

CrossOver Office is a snapshot of the public Wine source tree, with various compatibility Patches added, and more User-friendly Configuration tools. It's produced by CodeWeavers , who employ several Wine developers and contribute code back to the Free Software / Open Source Software Wine project as per the GNU LGPL — however CrossOver Office itself is Proprietary Software .

In June 2005, CodeWeavers announced support for Windows-to-Mac application porting and indicated that (for non-ported applications) Crossover Office will install on Intel -based Macs.

The actively-supported applications include and KDE .
