Hi, I have a 2010 MacBook (2.4 GHz Core2Duo, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HD), and I am interested in running .exe files, as the programs I am interested in using are mostly small programs made by a few people and do not have Mac versions.
I have looked into Boot Camp and virtualization, but the cost of buying a copy of Windows seems way to high for the amount I want to use it ($120 for an OS! Ridiculous!).
I have also tried Crossover, but it crashed on opening one of these programs.
I would like to know what the best way to open .exe files is on Mac besides one of these. Also, Linux is better for opening .exe files through whatever method, I am not opposed to using VirtualBox to run Linux.
