| SuSE Linux Office Desktop unveiled at LinuxWorld |
Jan. 22, 2003
(PR excerpt) -- SuSE Linux announced the availability of three software packages -- including a desktop product that enables users to install Microsoft Office on Linux -- that significantly broaden the appeal of Linux to both consumer and enterprise users.
SuSE Linux Office Desktop brings full functionality of the Microsoft Office Suite of applications to a Linux operating system. Users can deploy the bundled Sun Microsystems' StarOffice 6.0, or install MS Office on their Linux desktop -- ensuring familiarity, flexibility and interoperability, while still taking advantage of the scalability and reduced total cost of ownership that Linux delivers.
Codeweavers CrossOver Office 1.3.1 enables the utilization of familiar applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint from MS Office 97/2000 as well as Visio 2000 and other MS applications on the SuSE desktop. For the first time, even IBM Lotus Notes can be utilized on a Linux client.
Acronis OS Selector provides users with greater security and stability as well as the ability to install SuSE Linux on any existing Windows XP-based PC that uses an NTFS file system by re-sizing NTFS hard disk partitions ¾ enabling SuSE Linux users to free hard drive space and install SuSE Linux with other operating systems on a single PC. Acronis is the only system software publisher today that offers full support for all Linux file systems, including ReiserFS, Ext2, and Ext3.
