I ran M$ Office under Crossover Office about a year ago for a while, and it worked fine. Actually, the only problems I had were ones I had running it natively under Windows! The only reason I still have to get into Windows sometimes is Quicken :( Quicken 2003 supposedly doesn't run well under Wine (although I must admit I haven't spent the time to mess with it). And, from what I understand, Gnucash doesn't have all the features I need, like OFX synchronization, but, again, I haven't messed with it to find out... Now my next task is to install Gentoo on my wife's computer and see if she notices a difference between XP and Linux :) -- Jason Santos Sr. Unix System Administrator APS/Pinnacle West Phoenix, AZ USA -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
