[NMLUG] Codeweavers Crossover Office 2.1
Steve,
Last I checked, XO had all the Macromedia stuff listed as "Honorable
Mention," meaning that it installed, but was not functional.
If I could get Macromedia Freehand and Fireworks to run on my Linux box,
the only thing I've be left depending on Windows for would be converting
my Sony digital voice recorder files to wav->mp3s. Then, I'd be free of
Windows except for occasionally testing the RE in IE -- even then, with
XO, I would be able to run that bug-infested-worm-trap under Linux, so....
It just seems like a dream I'll never be able to realize -- a world (my
own, not the World in general) without Windows.
