| | A Look at CrossOver Office 2.1.0 - OSNews.com |
 | | CrossOver Office is also added to the menu system in Debian, so Debian users get menu entries in all supported window managers. | | | After that Office is installs perfectly, CrossOver Office even simulates a Windows reboot to make Office think the system is rebooted. | | | Some widely used applications do not run with CrossOver Office, for example Autodesk AutoCad 2000, Microsoft Money 2002, Macromedia Fireworks MX, Adobe Illustrator 8.0, Jasc Software PaintShop Pro and Adobe Pagemaker 7.0. |

| | CrossOver Office does, of course, allow advanced users to install unsupported software, but the important part is that they have made the process easy to use without sacrificing usability. | | | CrossOver Office handles many popular Windows programs such as Microsoft Office, but it also allows for the advanced user to attempt installs of programs that are not officially supported by CrossOver Office. | | | CrossOver Office is an excellent program based on the Wine project. |

| | Microsoft limits support for Office on Linux - ZDNet UK News |
| | CrossOver Office allows Microsoft Office XP's productivity suite -- with the exception of Access and Outlook components of the package -- to be run on versions of Linux that use the Gnome or KDE desktop software. | | | Office is widely considered to be a major bulwark protecting Microsoft's overwhelmingly dominant share of the operating system market. | | | Besides Office XP, the software supports popular software such as Adobe Photoshop, Lotus Notes and Intuit's Quicken. |

| | Marc Prior - Linux |
| | Crossover Office slots in between WINE and the emulators: easier to install and less bug-prone in use than WINE; less expensive and, at least theoretically, less demanding on hardware resources than the emulators, and without the need for a copy of Windows and the corresponding licence. | | | The buggy behaviour I reported on these pages with my installation, for example, was due to poor support of the upgrade version of MS Office. | | | (I was, in fact, fortunate in that I was using a SuSE distribution, and managed to install Crossover 1.0.0 at all; the same version would not install on Icepack or ArkLinux distributions.) This is among the many bugs which have since been fixed by Codeweavers. |

| | CodeWeavers CrossOver Office 1.2.0 reviewed by PC Magazine |
| | The latest contribution to the Linux productivity space, CodeWeavers CrossOver Office 1.2.0, may tempt those using Linux on the desktop. | | | CrossOver uses WINE, a free implementation of the Windows API for Linux. | | | For software development, VMWare is the best, but requires installation disks for various OSes desired to use on a given platform, and is rather clumsy (though virtually 100% compatibility with programs running on the client OS) as a tool to run apps. |

| | CodeWeavers, Xandros Deal: "Let the Revolution Begin!" |
| | This “CrossOver for Xandros” package allows users to easily install and use critical office programs -- most notably Microsoft Office -- directly under Linux, without the need to purchase a Microsoft Windows license. | | | We keep a separate tree and test against specific versions, so when we release a version of Wine we know that it works quite well with Microsoft Office 2000, for example. | | | Once we do a release -- for example, once we release 1.31 [of CrossOver Office] shortly here, we will merge all of our changes into the mainline Wine tree. |

| | Additionally, users might have to switch application software, and equivalents of some programs may not be available or there may be fewer options, as there are for computer games. | | | Because of reluctance to change and the fact that most computers come with Windows pre-installed, there is a slow adoption of new desktop operating systems. | | | However, more office and end-user applications now come with an automated installation program. |

| | SuSE 9.0 and CrossOver Office 2.1.0 Make A Great Desktop - OSNews.com |
| | While of course it would be ideal see programs like Photoshop ported to a native Linux versions, until that happens Wine and Crossover Office are like a dream come true --especially when an unsupported Windows application works fine, as was the case here. | | | For access to Windows programs, I installed Codeweaver's Crossover Office 2.1.0 which not only runs Word, Powerpoint, Excel, and Photoshop quickly and as far as I can tell flawlessly, but importantly also allowed the genetics program Sequencher to run. | | | A more important aspect is the realization that tools like Crossover Office exist and may have a number of advantages (speed, cost,...) over alternative solutions like VMWare for organizations that are looking for practical ways to deploy Linux on a wider scale than they have previously. |
