Macrumors is reporting that Codeweavers has officially released a public beta edition of their software.
"Codeweaver's solution differs from solutions like Apple's Boot Camp and Parallels Desktop in that it does not require a copy of Windows to run the Windows applications. Also, applications will be able to run side by side with their Mac OS X counterparts, whereas virtualization solutions must be contained within a "Windows window" or the machine must be rebooted in the case of Boot Camp."
The public beta offers a free 60-day trial. Though it only supports specific applications, it is said that over 2000 applications are currently compatible.
