Crossover Gets Quicken

Posted by Hemos on from the sweet-sweet-quicken dept.

Jeremy White writes: "involved with the Wine project 4 years ago, a major personal goal for me was to switch my wife's computer to Linux. But there was a simple caveat: "No Quicken, No Linux." As of today, CrossOver Office now supports Quicken (and my wife was beta tester #1 *grin*). The new version, 1.2.0, also supports Visio and fixes a raft of bugs. The press release is at Codeweavers and a review can be found here. " I've got a similar situation - been running Quicken for the last ten years, and have only one data section lost, so this is pretty darn cool. And it freakin' works.

    Does it automatically schedule version upgrades and payments to M$, or do you have to put those in manually?

    I use crossover plug to run Office 97 and it randomly locks up all the time.

    I think you've got it all wrong. This means that it is is far closer to the native windows environment than anybody realized. You should post your success to the wine devlelopers immediately.

    Looks like this is the final blow for Microsoft. We all knew Linux was going to take over the desktop market, and now it is going to be funny watching it happen over the next few days.

    Yeah, a simple "Dude, April 15th was yesterday!" popup would work just fine, thank you.
