This should give the Linux desktop a major boost: Apart from MSFT delaying tactics to the contary....: Announcing CrossOver Office, new Support system (Jeremy White, Wed Mar 27 04:58:09 2002) I am very excited to announce the next product in our CrossOver family of products - CrossOver Office. CrossOver Office will make it possible to install and use popular Windows applications as easily as CrossOver Plugin has made it to use Windows plugins, all without a Microsoft Windows Operating System license. Version 1.0 of CrossOver Office will support Microsoft Office 97, Microsoft Office 2000, and Lotus Notes. We hope to rapidly expand our support throughout the year. We have also made a major change in the way we deliver support to our customers, in the hope that we can serve you better. Specifically, we have built a completely new support infrastructure which means that each customer support email is assigned a ticket, and is tracked through our system. We also are providing a new support web page, http://support.codeweavers.com which provides you with a place to search the support archives and check up on the status of your requests. The new support system, if you sign in (which is optional), allows us to provide you with some further features. First, we can now automatically remail you a full installation download, which we hope will come in handy when you've lost yours or when we have a version upgrade. Second, and we hope importantly, we are offering a special discounted price to all of our current CrossOver Plugin customers - you can buy CrossOver Office for $39.95 instead of $54.95, if you go through the download section of the new support web site. Once again, I want to thank all of you. Working with our customers has been the greatest pleasure we have had these past 9 months. Please let us know if you have any problems or concerns. Cheers, Jeremy _______________________________________________ announce mailing list announce@crossover.codeweavers.com http://crossover.codeweavers.com/mailman/listinfo/announce I know its probably not going to happen, but how about a future version of SuSE being bundled with these products?
