[ubuntu-za] Winedoors & Crossover Re: Windows apps on Ubuntu

[Sacks, Cailan]

Crossover now support office 2010 and is merged with crossover games, so it is essentially 2 for the price of 1.

Crossover has come a long way from the days when I bought it for "charitable" reasons.

If you support opensource, at least give it a free try, and report bugs as opposed to jumping ship to booting windows.

I have also had bugs reported end up fixed in later releases with great turn around, the unity menu bug being one of them.

The big difference is mindshare among geeks.  This is one reason games 
are better supported than applications, even though they are more work. 
  For most people, I recommend trying WINE first, as it is lean, easy, 
and faster.  If that fails, don't invest a lot of time in it, just go 
virtual.  I have been playing with KVM lately, and love it!
