Quicktime In Linux

brianmed writes "Yes, it works. Codeweavers has just announced their crossover plug-in. It enables users to access popular Windows files and plug-ins in Linux. Right now it is geared towards Quicktime, Shockwave, and Word viewers. Quicktime trailers play just fine. I also have pine setup to launch the the MS Word viewer on command. It is a happy day." Alright, time to start testing. I've also been talking with Jeremy White of Codeweavers: he's got a request for help, as well as an interesting piece on business models -- the Crossover is not entirely GPL. See the above for more information.

    I just bought and downloaded it and noticed the license text:

    YOU REALLY WANT TO READ THIS, ESPECIALLY THE PART ABOUT YOUR FIRST BORN
    CHILD...


    ...License text... seems fair...

    OKAY, WE WERE JUST KIDDING. THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE ABOUT YOUR FIRST BORN
    CHILD. BUT YOU REALLY SHOULD READ THESE THINGS, YOU KNOW.


    Just thought I'd share that...
