For Mac Don’t dedicate gigabytes of hard drive space on your Mac by installing a Windows operating system on a virtual machine. Don’t reboot to switch between native Mac software and Windows software. CrossOver Mac, a 90 MB download, efficiently takes up only the amount of space your Windows programs requires and doesn’t require you to reboot. For Linux Requiring less than 150 Mb of free space (depending on your Linux distro), CrossOver Linux doesn’t have the overhead of a Windows operating system like a virtual machine which means you don’t have to dedicate gigabytes and gigabytes of hard drive space.
