I've been using both Crossover and Fusion now for a couple of months and they are amazing.

OMG....I just tried Crossover. I'm stunned. I've been a Mac user since 1984 and i thought I 'd seen it all when I got Bootcamp, but Crossover is nothing short of incredible. Thank you, JM.
One question. I am on a MacBook Pro and am having trouble with the screen size. When P* launches, the lobby window shows up small (like 640x480) in comparison to my screen (1920x1200). When I pull the bottom right corner to enlarge the window it works fine. However, the table windows do not resize when i pull them, it just gives me a wild color pattern around the 640x480 screen. Have you experienced this? Strange that the lobby window would enlarge correctly but the table window does not.
Anyway, thanks for blowing my mind.....

Yeah I was stunned by Crossover as well! Great product and I've been a PC user forever. Just got a good deal on an iMac recently and since it would do both platforms, figured I'd give it a try. Its sweet.

I had that same problem, I know exactly what you're saying and I'm trying to remember if I resolved it or not. I'll take a look when I get home later. Its sort of like it didn't know how to handle the dynamic resize of the table screen.
