Demand was so high they had to change their website.
http://down.codeweavers.com/
For today only CodeWeavers are making their CrossOver software free to all U.S. Internet users. With CrossOver, Linux and Mac users can run Windows applications without needing Microsoft?s operating system.
You can claim your version by visiting the CodeWeavers site, where you will be given a serial number and can download the software. At the time of writing the site is down due to high demand, but access to the serial numbers is still available so you won?t miss out.
The reason for the free giveaway is due to The CodeWeavers Great American Lame Duck Presidential Challenge. The challenge set President Bush a number of goals to hit in the Twin Cities before January next year, those goals included:
* Reduce the price of gasolime to US$2.79
* Reduce the price of food so a gallon of milk is US$3.50
* Create more jobs by increasing employment to 138,002,001 in non-farm jobs
* Rejuvenate the housing market so average house prices return to US$233,000
* Bring Osama Bin Laden to justice
The free software day has been made possible because the price of gasoline has fallen to the US$2.79 mark. If any of the other goals are met we can expect to see further free software giveaways as we approach the end of the year.
