Linux and Office: What a Concept

By Michelle Delio

A Window has just opened wide for Linux users.

With Codeweaver's CrossOver Office, Linux users can install and use Microsoft Office on their PCs without the Windows operating system.

CrossOver Office 1.0 worked almost flawlessly in Wired News' tests. Office 98 and 2000 programs installed easily and ran smoothly over Red Hat 7.2 and Mandrake 8.2 Linux OS distributions on five Dell and Compaq PCs.

In general, running CrossOver Office was so similar to using Office on a standard Windows system that it was sometimes difficult to remember the PC was actually running Linux.

Best of luck.
