OK, Advocavy and MS bashing should be on -chat, however this is a little different.
How many times have you heard "We'd use Linux if it has MS Office and/or IE"...... The wait is over. The guys at Codeweavers (www.codeweavers.com) have come up with a new program. I've been using Crossover (crossover.codeweavers.com) to allow things like Quicktime/WMP/Wordviewer etc in linux (with plugins to mozilla/konqueror). It works really well but only helps with creating a nice browsing experience. Now they have brought out 'Crossover Office' (http://codeweavers.com/about/press_releases/?id=20020327) which allows Linux users to MS Office, IE and even Lotus Notes without a MS Windows licence. This is BIG news. For only $55USD, you can get people switched over. I've not tried it yet, but based on the other products Codeweavers are knocking out, its going to be good. Yes, you have to pay for it. However the money goes into supporting the WINE project and (if its like their other prodcts) this is a VERY polished bit of software. I will be trying this out in the near future, I'll let you know how I get on.
