CrossOver Plugin 1.0 Demo Version

Posted by Hemos on from the look-at-the-purty-pictures dept.

jwnewman writes "CodeWeavers has released the Demo version of CrossOver plugin." I bought the regular version when it first came out, just to try it out. It's pretty impressive - I've only had some problems with it under Konqueror, but that's had more to do with my plugin setup. The demo version is a full version, but with nags in it. It's well worth checking out.

    Does it bother you that you have to pay for your computer system (hardware) too???

    I am guessing it is only a matter of time before someone writes code that will wreak havoc on the linux community.

    Unfortunately, I accidentally downloaded the CrossingOver plugin by mistake, and now all the Web pages I view ask me a lot of vague questions about dead relatives.

    Actually it does.

    I hate having to pay $500 for the CoolerMaster case I'm going to place my $1800 dual Ahtlon system in.

    You win, I'm turning communist. I guess I really had no choice. :(

    Security? Quote from their webpage:

    "CrossOver also integrates with Gnome and KDE to let you transparently open any Word, Excel or PowerPoint file. But even better, you can open this type of attachements directly from any mail client."

    This doesn't sound like "better" to me.

    Would that be referring to the time that he forgot to use duct tape?
