Codeweavers' CrossOver Plugin Reviewed

Version 1.0 was released in late August 2001 to much media furvor, while the release of version 1.1 arrived without much fanfare. Despite the lack of attention by the news media, the new version of CrossOver is a more exciting release than the orginal. The reason? Microsoft Media Player Support. Finally, every major plugin on the internet, along with several obscure ones, are now supported under Linux. (Full Story)"

it's early - or late - re-read the article after coffee/sleep and you'll see that it addresses QT: standalone is flaky, embedded rocks, and it's "just like Windows" version to the reviewer.

Where Microsoft gets in trouble...

I love this idea.

The use of free software such as Windows Media Player and such makes it funny because what is Microsoft's defense?

Do they say to use their free Windows software such as WMP you need Windows? I've been trying to make this point since the trial started. The OS is the bundleware stupid! It's that tax you pay to stay under the MS umbrella of products.
