CrossOver Office 5 and Wine 0.9 Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday October 25, 2005 @02:52AM from the gotta-keep-'em-emulated dept.

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."

I would rather see important apps ported to Linux. If there is so much demand for Wine/Crossover, then surely there is demand for the apps natively on linux? Ask your vendors where they are.

Actually I can understand not wanting to bear the cost of two lines of developement. I wouldnt mind if they simply came out and officially said they would support users trying to run under wine.
