CXOffice 2.0 works fine in 8.2 as does CrossOver 1.2.1 for the browser plugins. The trick with CrossOver 1.2.1 is to not enable the ActiveX plugin. It causes QT to show up as a white box in the browser and makes Shockwave pages crawl. If you don't enable the ActiveX (npwine.npmozax.so) plugin you should be good to go. I hear that v2.0 of the plugin is due out sometime in the next month. I think they are working to add support for new plugins and it's a feature upgrade as well.
I don't have much use for CXOffice but CrossOver works great for me. I mainly use it for Shockwave and QT. I know I could use mplayer for QT but it's a PITA to configure..at least it was last time I looked...and I need my movie trailer fix. ;)
If we could just get Codeweavers-CX and Transgamings-WineX to interop/play
nice wit each uda then BAMM! Say CYA BIll and I wouldn't wanna be ya!
No wonder M$ is grasping at this, as evidence to their threatening communique
to the maintainer and promoter of FoxPro for Linux (runs very very well under
wine). I wager in about 1 to 1-1/2 years this is going to be all academic in
90% of the non-native software. And then maybe the M$ drones will stop
trembling at the aspect of not getting their IE/Outluck fix. Though I could
see a wineserver getting infected with a worm or several virii - ROFL.
Now for something completely different! Have you looked at the changelog for
2.5.68 (or others in the family). I just finished reading an article about
the devs for the kernel team, e.g. Rob Love, et al.
The list is 0 (1) scheduler, preemptive kernel (more cooperative code
execution), better latency (optimized algoritms), reworked block (a biggie
things can go straight to highmem without stepping throught the lower layer -
aka bounces)., better VM subsys (rmappng, smarter algorithms, better play
with the VFS), better threading (NPTL libs - POSIX, 1:1-kernel:user space
[though the old Linux Threads were 1:1 this should be crisper/better) and the
folding ALSA in better. So desktop performance and response should really
rock.
Oh, and while Im digreeings wildly, think about this:
