To be more detailed, if you install Windows applications and use them
now you'll be able to use them as long as you need to. If a new
windows program comes out in a few months you may not get the best
support for it until you upgrade to the next version of crossover
office. You can upgrade for free until your support runs out.

For example, I installed IE 6 no problem in crossover when I bought my
license, but by the time IE 7 came out my license had expired. I
believe a later update fixed the installation issue I experienced but
I didn't have access to that version.

They are constantly improving the software so the updates are quite nice.

I encourage people that need a windows program to buy the product for
6mo or a year and use crossover as a way to wean yourself from Windows
software.
