Has Macworld done a review of Crossover? Being an admitted MS anti-fan I much rather pay an independant company for sw to run a windows program rather than support MS mediocrity.
It sounds like such a great idea--running windows apps in OS X without having to install or pay MS for windows.

No, and we won't until it's at a release version. We don't review beta software.

Okay, with Leopard out (and Boot Camp no longer beta), and with a number of now with months of Boot Camp experience behind us, I'd like to re-visit the "partition re-size" question.

1. Does Leopard's non-beta Boot Camp support re-sizing the Windows partition?

2. If so, how does that process work?

3. If not, what are the steps that one must take to change the size of an existing Windows partition? For example, I setup my wife's MacBookPro with a 5GB Windows partition. Silly me. It's been a never-ending effort of managing disk space, fighting off "disk space low" messages. Very few apps installed (Intuit's QuickBooks and Quicken; IE; Acrobat reader; Excel; BitDefender AV; SpyBot; that's about it), but still get the messages, so I guess I need to up the partition to 10GB.

3a. Assuming that the process is, basically, backup-delete partition-create new partition-reinstall all, then where am I going to get into trouble? Any issues re-installing Windows? How about any of the specific apps -- any hits and tips?

Thanks in advance,

Doug
