| CrossOver Office unveils support for Windows XP, Photoshop |
Apr. 22, 2003
CodeWeavers announced the release of CrossOver Office Version 2.0, now enabling Linux users to run Microsoft Office XP, Adobe Photoshop 7, and Microsoft Access without the need for a Windows emulator or OS license. All major Linux distributions are supported including RedHat 9.0, Mandrake 9.0, and SuSE 8.1 Linux.
The new release also accommodates double-byte languages, allowing Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions of Windows applications to operate under CrossOver Office.
Applications supported include Microsoft Office XP, Adobe Photoshop, and Microsoft Access, CrossOver Office supports Lotus Notes; Intuit's Quicken; Microsoft Outlook, Visio, and Internet Explorer; and more.
Cal Erickson, an Independent Professional Photographer, agreed. "CrossOver's support of Photoshop will be a key component in many firms' strategies to move towards a pure Linux production environment." Erickson said. "In the graphics industry, being able to work in Photoshop is a fundamental requirement. With CrossOver, they now get the best of both worlds."
"With Version 2.0 of CrossOver Office, CodeWeavers is expanding its support for today's most in-demand professional applications . . . by making legacy database applications available under Linux, we remove barriers to broader Linux adoption in many workplaces." said Jeremy White, CodeWeavers founder and CEO.
CrossOver Office saves Linux-based organizations significant software investment costs. Enterprises save two ways-the low costs associated with Linux, plus direct access to Windows-based products without purchasing additional transitional software, according to the company.
CodeWeavers' CrossOver Office Version 2.0 is currently available for purchase from CodeWeavers for US $54.95. Workgroup, site, and enterprise license discounts are available.
