CodeWeavers makes commercialized versions of Wine, a free software project that allows Windows software to be run on Mac/Linux. From wikipedia:
"In July 2008, CodeWeavers launched the Great American Lame Duck Presidential Challenge to encourage President Bush to make the most of his remaining days in office by accomplishing a major economic or political goal by January 20, 2009. The goals focused on President Bush making specific positive accomplishments in areas such as the economy, home values, the stock market, the war on terror and other key issues. Specifically, one goal called for President Bush to help bring down average gasoline prices in the Twin Cities to $2.79 a gallon. On Monday, October 14, gas prices in Minneapolis and St. Paul did just that. Codeweavers were true to their word, and on October 28 a combination of Slashdot and Digg took down their website as people rushed to get the free software. According to Codeweavers, "You will be able to unlock your serial number that was emailed to you for an extended time, (an additional 48 hours), due to this downtime. We will simply stop giving out new serial numbers at 23:59 (Midnight) Central Standard Time."
Download the softare here. I've never used it so I don't know anything about it.
