What you buy is not only the product, but also 6 months of support. They provide it both as a download and on CD-ROM (though you will have to pay a bit more for the medium costs). Because WINE implements many important parts of the Windows API, CrossOver Office does not need Microsoft Windows.ĬrossOver Office can be purchased through the Codeweavers site. Applications with a gold medal should work as well as they do under Windows, silver applications might have some significant bugs, but should be usable, bronze applications install and run, but might have severe bugs. Supported applications get a medal, indicating how well they work. A complete list of officially supported applications can be found on the CodeWeavers site. It is tuned to run some widely used office applications, like the largest part of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel and PowerPoint), Adobe Photoshop and Intuit Quicken.
Now what is CrossOver Office? CrossOver Office is a special, commercial, version of WINE developed by CodeWeavers. Again my main focus will be programs I need to run myself. This week CrossOver Office is the next tool I am going to have a look at.
Last week I reviewed Win4Lin, a solution that makes it possible to run certain versions of Microsoft Windows on Linux.
