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.
Like many people, this does not do much for me. While it is cheaper than vmware and similar options, the real answer is to get open/star/k office up to the point where it replaces MS office. I wonder if it will propagate windows viruses correcly through outlook ;)

It really is a pity that we do not have anything stable or acceptably fast enough to compete with ms office. My students would rather use office 97 on our old samba p233 boxes any day compared to our p733 linux boxes also under Samba running star, oo or hancom. The latter being only marginally slower however. A vast improvement. Why are Linux based office applications so slow? Is there a single answer? Not everyone can afford a P IV with 256MB upon which admittedly all of the above really fly out of the screen! Cheers, Steve.
