"I am very pleased to announce that we have made a public beta of our upcoming CrossOver Mac product available for general download. What we are shipping today is our first beta release of CrossOver Mac. This release will give you a taste of the promise of CrossOver, but should be considered an early test release - we intend to make substantial further improvements before we ship a production version."

A normal Apple user got the spare money to buy a Windows XP license...
btw. why do you need Windows if you got a BSD kernel with a GUI you can even work with when you're extremly drunken?

Because Dassault hasn't had the sense to port CATIA to a real operating system?

EDIT: Okay, fine, it runs on a real OS, in that it supports AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, and Solaris. Everything except Linux and OS X actually. Wtf?

it only matters who pays for the port! Theres probably better product on Linux / OSX so theres no need to port it.
