Opps, sorry about the previous post, but the price is $600 for a 5 pack.


Here's the URL from Slashdot:

Contains Crossover Office which is a commercial product. SuSE's good, but the configuration's not worth the $600 their asking for it. There will be some takers - SuSE's more popular in Europe than in the US and some people really need both platforms.
Crossover Office, however, by itself has some people taking a close look at it for a while now. It's still not perfect, but runs more Windows apps than Wine or Win4Lin, which is another commercial product. It specializes in Microsoft Office products.
I was surprised to see the number of Windows apps that run under Wine, which is free. I'll be testing some of them for school in the next week or so, like Accelerated Reader and All the Right Type. I messed around the other day and got my older version of Filemaker to work - will have to work on version 6.0 - haven't tried it yet
