It's _not_ "kind of like wine".  It _is_ Wine.  With some preset configs
provided to support Office and similar.  It's _not_ unfree - imo it is
_exactly_ what Free software is supposed to be about.  (and if we all
boycotted Codeweavers on that basis, Wine would be pretty well useless -
they have turned over a great deal of work to the Wine devs).

Worth the attempt, but if he has something that Wine doesn't handle yet, and
Crossover Office _does_, there's no reason he should avoid the Codeweavers
product.
