Codeweavers crossover office actually works really well. I've been using it since it came out at least a few months. I've tried it with word and excel and have had few problems. I've never had it crash. I had some issues with printing but a quick check on there webpage which has an amazing support interface quickly fixed the problem. You can even run internet explorer which I've only had crash when it accesses flash sites. Thats been really useful for web development. No need to find another machine or reboot to check what a website looks like. The latest version is also supposed to run visio but I haven't tried it out yet. Also since there is no emulation happening it is quite fast. > DaZZa > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2002 17:46:40 +1000 > Subject: Use Microsoft Office in Linux?
