Today, I tried running CounterStrike after having installed Steam, thanks to CrossOver, a program that allows you to run Windows Applications directly on the Mac Os X desktop, without the need to launch a virtual machine or rebooting your Mac with BootCamp, and allows you to continue working simulteanously with your opther mac apps.

The results are amazing ! Game is fluid, at least 30fps, and totally playable !
Going to run CounterStrike Source now, will keep you updated !

Hi,

I am back from holidays ! I will add a photo album in my next post.

In this post, I just wanted to make an announcement: expect a surprise when you will come on the site next week

Now, totally off-topic, but I wanted to say to the world:
Get yourself a MacBook Pro and drop your Windows laptop in your trashbin !

Well, humm I am getting too enthusiastic, just get a MacBook Pro if you can, it is really a worthful purchase, trust me ! All tasks can be performed on MacOs (graphics, office, coding …), it features a unix console, has a great user interface, is fast and powerful and now it runs Windows applications natively (yes, you read correctly): using a program called CrossOver from CodeWeavers company, I have been able to run multiple windows applications directly under Mac Os X. Here is a screenshot of my own program Iml2Iso Enhanced running with killerapp !

And, according to the program list, you can run games like Half-Life, Steam and World of Warcraft directly too, it’s simply crazy Having tried BootCamp, Parallels and CrossOver, I can tell you the time when Windows was required for work and gaming is now over !

Viva my MacBook Pro !
