Crossover Office 2.0 Released
freakyfreak2 writes "Crossover Office 2.0.0 was just released. Finally can get Office XP apps to run. Here's from the announcement. "The changes in this release are as follows:
Support was added for Photoshop 7, Access 2000, Word XP, Excel XP, and
Powerpoint XP. glibc 2.3 issues were fixed. The setup GUI was
dramatically improved. Tablet support for Photoshop was added. File
locking and file change notification support were added. Scripts were
added so that the technically inclined can have Windows applications
open specific file types using Unix applications, for instance,
opening PDF fies with the Unix Acrobat Reader. Many other cleanups
and bug fixes were made. "
Here's the homepage and here's the change log. I'm still waiting on getting Dreamweaver MX to run."
"Crossover Office" sounds like a building full of transvestites.

Why? So you can have huge chunks of javacript that sucks embedded into every single page? Or perhaps you want your HTML to look like it was laid out by a deranged monkey?

Dude, where's my Karma?
I can buy proprietary Crossover Office, which let's me buy proprietary Office XP and run it on my otherwise open computer (Oh, and I still have to register/authenticate/indoctrinate/whatever Office XP or it won't work).
OR
I can run Open Office.
Tough choice.
If all this should have a reason, we would be the last to know.
Ah, Linux, where customizability is key. As longs as you don't make it like windows.
God forbid people get to run the programs they like and make their computer look and act like they want.
How DARE they!

Now it seems those photoshop fans who arre too good for the GIMP now have less of an excuse not to go to Linux. One of the biggest arguments I've heard against WINE was that Photoshop and Office XP weren't supported, so I expect all those people to switch to Linux now.
"Hello, Jim? This is Bob in the 'Office' department. Can you fax over that Visual FoxPro EULA? I think we might need to include that verbiage in our products too now. Sure, I'll be looking for it. Thanks!"

In a strange ironic twist, those go away when you do pay..

Boy. YOu should be a spokesperson for Open Source. You have such an elegant way of insulting people you should be educating.
