RE: [clug-talk] WineRack

Hi Jason,   Have a look at Codeweaver's supported programs: http://www.codeweavers.com/site/compatibility/browse/name   I know they claim that the apps in the Office 2000 pro suite works completely (Access, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) which I can vouch for. I haven't tried Publisher though.   I know with later versions of MS-Office, things get a little fussy with some of the applications - MS-Access for instance. so for across the board support, MS 2000 works great, after that it's gets a little dicey depending on what apps you want to use.   Marcel -----Original Message----- From: Jason Hayes - HHC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 8:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [clug-talk] WineRack Folks;   For those that have used Suse's WineRack, how well does it run XP or "03 M$ apps? Should one just pick up an old copy of Office 2K to ensure stability?   I need to use M$ apps for clients but don't want to sully the hard drive in my soon to arrive Acer Aspire 1705SCi (gloat gloat) with an M$ OS.   I can live with installing Office, but would prefer to avoid the dual boot routine (it is a serious pain to be constantly rebooting). Also after committing the $$'s to order the laptop, I would need to stop eating for a month or two to afford the extra $400+ for VMWare without totally demolishing my budget.   I know OpenOffice can do Office files, but the formatting issues that crop up when importing files make it impossible to rely on it for important presentations and documents.   So, to those in the know, will WineRack run Office XP or "03 stably, or should I try and find an old copy of Office 2K?   Thanks   ------------------------ Jason Hayes - Principal Hayes Holdings Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] / www.hayz.ws Blog: www.hayz.ws/blog #1936 - 246 Stewart Green SW Calgary, AB, Canada T3H 3C8 ------------------------   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This communication is intended for the use of the recipient to which it is addressed, and may contain confidential, personal, and or privileged information.
