| CrossOver Office: the best way to do the wrong thing [LinuxWorld] |
May 01, 2002
Voicing a preference for 'native Linux applications whenever possible', Nicholas Petreley discovers the ease and benefits of Codeweavers' CrossOver Office in this review for LinuxWorld.
" . . . I tried Codeweavers' CrossOver Office, which is a commercial product that lets you run Microsoft Office 97, Office 2000, and Lotus Notes natively under Linux. Codeweavers performs this miracle with an enhanced version of Wine, which means you can run these Windows applications without having to pay for a Windows license . . ."
" . . .
