Well, I don't see anything that currently exists, nor will ever exist
which could be argued to be an "incentive" for MS to port their apps
to Linux.
Btw, FWIW, the only thing I used CrossOver Office for was their
Outlook client to access the Exchange server. For all Office docs I
use either Open Office, Gnumeric, or Abiword.
I do occasionally use the Quicktime plugin from the CrossOver Plugins
pkg, but I just heard that Xine will be supporting this in an up
coming release :)
