Well, it's not rubbish. Got my free code for crossover pro. Have to wait for the software itself as the site is swamped, but my code entitles me to a free copy when I want.

The site is also extending the deadline for code retrieval by 48 hrs due to high demand causing the site downage.

I had read about this and thought, "Great, I can get the latest version without paying this time!"

Then I remembered that the reason I haven't renewed my license is that I don't find a use for Crossover any more. It seems I'm irredeemably hooked on using Linux and Macs.

Sorry, but I just couldn't resist a freebie - now I've just got to workout if I've got any Windows software I desperately need to buy.

At the moment I just can't afford the new Adobe Creative Suite which is the only software that really isn't quite matched by the open source software currently available, on the other hand I can do everything I need with the open source software.
