Wine vs. Crossover Office
By jeltsch on Thu, 02/26/2004 - 00:00I have been using several trial versions (2.0.1 and 2.0.2) of Crossover Office. Actually it doesn't do really much. Admittedly, it really has some handy functions: "Reset Crossover Office" to terminate any stuck wine applications and "Simulate Windows Reboot". These are actually scripts (located in /opt/cxoffice/bin), that could be largely replaced by own solutions.
