It was worth a true but it didn't work. I could install and run version 2 of 
Rhino but when I tried to update the install to version 4 it couldn't find 
the previous version so I couldn't install the update. A new version of 
Crossover is supposed to come out soon so I will try again then to update to 
version 4.

My feeling was that this was a form of publicity and a way to increase their 
user base and maybe convert some of the free users in to paying customers later.
