I do all my work in OO and to send it I save as MS office. If it is a complicated stuff or a presentation I do a quick check with MS running under crossover. Crossover works great with word, excel and pp. If you want outlook or access it will not work. Crossover is very reliable and it works as a linux program. I love it. The backup is very easy and protect all the MS license. It creates an archive called bottles that can be save as or even create an rpm. It can be imported in another system as well. VM ware is a very professional virtual system. Ain't cheap. I have the workstation. I tried VirtualBox, qemu and all of them worked but nothing is comparable to VMware. I do not use or need VMware for MS office. VMware is also very easy to backup. It does everything you can think off and more. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
