[PLUG] Crossover Office

The reason we have dual-boot systems is because no one
can live without Microsoft Office. However, according
to Codeweavers, there is now an application costing
$54 (or $64 with media) that will allow you to run
Office 97/2000 on Linux. It's probably a hoax of some
kind--they have a bridge they'd like to sell you,
too--but does anyone know more about it?

If so, it will be a disaster for Win4Lin, in all
likelihood. You still need to have Windows installed
to use the Netraverse product. (Perhaps you can get
away with using another copy of Windows installed
somewhere else, however.)
