It's that time of year again-- the time for the latest and greatest Crossover release for both Mac and Linux platforms. Version 8.0 brings new and updated support for many applications, especially Quicken 2009, Microsoft Office 2007, and Internet Explorer 7 (why Linux or Mac users would want IE7 is beyond me, but to each his own). Also, the Wine project has, of course, benefited more from Crossover's advancements.

You can't use Internet Explorer to build websites. That's like expecting to be able to use a car to build roads.
But you need to test your website against Internet Explorer unfortunately because it is the dominant browser out there. With that being said, Dreamweaver is a horrible development tool to begin with given its ugly code that it produces.

I think the above user is right, we should stop testing shit with IE, if we always try to make it compatible with that piece of shit it will never die.
Let it die.

Agreed - and it isn't as though browsers cost any money to begin with. I might understand people not upgrading their web browser because it cost them money but given that an upgrade is a 10mb download away I'd sooner websites offer a crippled cut down version to Internet Explorer users but provide links to better web browsers as to allow the end user the full experience.
This was done many years ago with buttons that forced people to download Internet Explorer to get an 'enhanced experience', I think we can do it again when it comes to standards based browsers versus non standard browsers (Internet Explorer).

Excuse me? Dreamweaver produces bad code? You must be confusing with Frontpage. Dreamweaver strongly supports web standards with clean, valid XHTML or HTML code. You have to try it before critisizing! 
Nice to see we know one of the people using the moderation system to silence critics.
Dreamweaver is a product, note a lifestyle. I may pain you to believe me but I've used Dreamweaver since version 8 - and the code is monumentally horrible. I've tried all the way up to the latest version (included with CS 3.3) - so yes, things have improved but it isn't as clean and efficient as either writing it by hand or using a very minimalist development environment.

Looks like my Lame Duck order (last year) entitles me to this version as a free upgrade!! Huzzah! If you got your crossover this way, check it out. Log on to the store and go to "My downloads". 8.0.0 is the version is gives me for Crossover. I assume that means it will be fully registered?!"
