I'm using Indigo with Crossover. It works great. What you need to do is run Indigo through the "Programs-Run Command" option. Here you can start up Indigo, but you can also create an icon. You can drag this created "app"icon from Users/Name/Applications/Crossover/Indigo.app to your dock and run the program like a normal OS X one. I hope you understand my explaination.

The Mac uses all processors, and the speed is very good. Probably a little slower then native Windows or Linux. But it works OK for me. I have a quadcore so it uses all four CPUs. Next week we're getting the dual quadcore Mac Pro at our office. I'll certainly try Indigo on that one!!
