CrossOver Mac runs Windows programs without Windows
CodeWeavers announced the beta of CrossOver Mac, which allows you to install your favorite Windows applications and games on Mac OS X without a Windows installation and without a high-price Windows license. The Windows license aspect makes both Boot Camp and Parallels a bit of a bummer.
Speaking of Parallels I wowed a whole crew of people with the fact that I was running MacOS, Windows and Ubuntu all on the same laptop. If only the laptop itself didn't heat up like a Viking range the whole thing would be more impressive.
Also this week OpenOffice Premium was launched which brings clip art and templates to OO.org. Personally, I'd prefer the ability to run Excel macros to clip art but as we've seen previously my opinion is meaningless.
