Crossover Mac enters Beta 2 phase

We missed this a few days ago, but Crossover Mac, CodeWeaver’s WINE environment that allows you to run Windows applications along side OS X applications, with no need for virtualization, has been updated to Beta 2. What’s new in b2? Lots, apparently. There are “dramatic” performance improvements and bug fixes for full screen mode, case-sensitive file systems, CPU detection, and the registration process, to name a few. Now I haven’t personally used Crossover yet, since I’m supremely satisfied with Parallels, so I can’t confirm that those updates are actually there, but I’m willing to give the developer the benefit of the doubt on this one. If you’re using it, please chime in with your thoughts.
