You can run microsoft office in linux crossover!

Hi Darklight,

Crossover is just another word for the Wine project,
except you pay for it and get nothing of any extra value
from it.

I run Lotus Approach, 123, Word Pro, plus Acrobat 8 in
Wine. They have severe problems. Acrobat 8 is a complete
nightmare in Wine. And the Wine project can take up
to five years to fix a bug, except for games, which they
jump on right away. Wine is still in Alpha stage.

I ran M$O Word 2003 from Wine at a customers site once.
It had a number of issues.

In my experience, it is better to run Libre Office
on Linux that to run M$O under wine, especially now
that Libre Office is so good at reading M$O's proprietary
code. I wouldn't have said this a year ago about
Libre Office, but they have come a long way and they
actaully fix their bugs.
