New for CrossOver 20: Chrome OS Support
CrossOver Chrome OS uses Google’s Linux container support enabling a Chromebook to run various Windows applications as if they were native and without requiring a Windows operating system. Not only does it integrate directly with the Chrome OS shelf, it also works in offline mode as well as it does in online mode.
Continued Support for Wine Open Source Software
Across all platforms, CrossOver 20 includes Wine 5.0 (with over 3,400 improvements) and the ability to rate applications within the CrossOver UI. The macOS version offers support for Big Sur (macOS 11), including Apple Silicon.

Oh Yes You Can Run Windows Apps on Chrome OS with CrossOver
November 13, 2020
https://www.codeweavers.com/blog/js...-run-windows-apps-on-chrome-os-with-crossover

So you may not have heard the news. CrossOver for Chrome OS runs Windows apps on Chromebooks. If you want to run Windows programs that are not available in the Google Play Store alongside mobil apps, CrossOver Chrome OS is for you!
Now you may also have heard that Parallels recently released an enterprise version that also runs Windows applications on Chromebooks. So I thought I would take a moment to differentiate the two.

CrossOver Vs. Parallels for Chrome OS
• CrossOver is a consumer product, not exclusively an enterprise product
• CrossOver does not require installing Windows 10, Parallels does
• CrossOver does not require buying a Windows license, Parallels does for $139
• CrossOver only requires 550MB of disk space (storage), not 128GB like Parallels
• CrossOver only requires 2GB of RAM (memory), Parallels requires 16GB
• CrossOver starts at $39.95, Parallels is $69.99 per user (plus a Windows license)
• CrossOver needs a Chromebook with an Intel processor (2019 models and later )

CrossOver 20 brings Windows apps to M1 Macs
Can Apple Silicon Macs run Windows software?
November 19, 2020
https://www.macworld.co.uk/news/crossover-20-windows-apps-m1-macs-3798226/

However, it now turns out that it is possible to run Windows software on the M1 Macs, following a demonstration of CrossOver 20 by the product's maker CodeWeavers, reported by 9to5Mac.

CrossOver is based on the open-source project WINE and emulates Intel Windows binaries via Rosetta 2 on the ARM Mac. A complete Windows installation is neither necessary nor possible with CrossOver.
The developers are satisfied with their first results, having managed to run programs on a throttled chip with a deactivated GPU core on the entry-level computer MacBook Air. CrossOver 20 requires the beta of macOS 11.1 Big Sur, as this comes with numerous bug fixes for Rosetta 2.

CodeWeavers: Okay, I'm on the bandwagon - Apple Silicon is officially cool

The new Apple Silicon-based Macs have dropped and the reviews are very positive. They've delivered faster machines that use less power, and they run CrossOver 20 brilliantly!
We have a range of the new systems on order. But we got impatient and discovered that our local Best Buy had the cheapest Macbook Air in stock, so we bought it and loaded CrossOver 20.0.2 onto it.

I can't tell you how cool that is; there is so much emulation going on under the covers. Imagine - a 32-bit Windows Intel binary, running in a 32-to-64 bridge in Wine / CrossOver on top of macOS, on an ARM CPU that is emulating x86 - and it works! This is just so cool.
