CrossOver Office 5 and Wine 0.9 Released

Jeremy White writes "I am happy to report that we have shipped version 5 of CrossOver Office. The most user visible changes are support for Office 2003 and 'bottles' which lets you deploy Windows applications more easily than ever. But under the hood, this release includes all of the major work that went into the 0.9 release of Wine, which also shipped today and is now officially in Beta."

Right now, Wine apps look like something the cat dragged in

Do your bit for Windows compatibility!

The Hallowe'en Edition:

CrossDresser Office 5 and DrinkLotsOfWine 0.9 Released

Just don't post the pictures, please. We've got enough with the goat guy and tubgirl.

Self Promotion, the right way

Finally, a product announcement on Slashdot that just comes right out and says "hey, we're pimping a new product/release."

one step forward in allowing Linux (MacOS users soon) toto run any Windows program perfectly.

WTF? Even WIndows can't run Windows programs perfectly. One of the big problems of mimicing Windows is getting all the bugs to work "right" (what a concept).

I think I'll dress my computer up celebrate Hallowe'en - I'll put a Windows Install CD on top of it (as opposed to when I want to punish it, I put the install cd in the CD tray and threaten to close the tray)

Then I'll tell it "quit yer Wine-ing"

Perfect Timing!!
