Hi people, I asked Andrew from Codeweavers what is the procedure of becoming beta tester (I'm a tester since version 4) of Crossover, so if you want to become a beta tester (at the end of the test you can download the final version), read the attached mail.
Thanks, Hetz ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andrew Bogott <and...@codeweavers.com> Date: Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 6:08 PM Subject: Re: Announcing CrossOver 8.0.0alpha2 To: Hetz Ben Hamo <het...@gmail.com> Hetz -- We're usually happy for more beta testers, although I'm generally most interested in testers who want to use supported apps. Feel free to spread the word -- anyone who wants to test should just create a CW account and then send me an email asking to be added to the beta list.
