CrossOver Office, the Windows API emulation framework for GNU/Linux, is finally at version 5.0 after some delay. While CrossOver has always been useful but never quite perfect, this new release is a breakthrough in Windows compatibility and GNU/Linux desktop integration. If you've been in "wait and see" mode with CrossOver Office, this is the release that should push you toward it. Read a review of the newest release here.

Member since:Get yourself a job where MS Office is used and try to open even simple docuemnts created under latest OOo. I just wasted hours fixing issues this week, again.
The documents were simple text, 2 pages, at the end there were signature field with a bit of TAB-ing in there... I was surprised that compatibility is still so bad. (MSOffice 2000)

Indeed Wine supports Photoshop 7, quicktime is useless(linux has quicktime codecs) and MSoffice is totally useless with OO.o 2.o, Abiword, Koffice about.
Wine and winetools runs what Crossover does anyway apart from MSOffice2003?, but thats not a good enough reason to pay twice.
