Running Windows applications with CrossOver Linux 6.0
By Mayank Sharma on January 29, 2007 (8:00:00 AM)

CodeWeavers this month announced version 6.0 of its flagship
Windows compatibility product. Now called CrossOver Linux, the
new version is the first with official support for games. With
its growing application support and foray into gaming, CrossOver
Linux 6 is an excellent alternative for Linux users who are stuck
with a Windows application at work or at school.

I also successfully installed Microsoft Office XP. After
installation, I was able to add custom document templates and
copy and paste text to and from Linux applications.

I installed the Steam game client, and was able to play demo
versions of World Of Warcraft, Half Life, Heroes of Annihilated
Empires, and Medieval II Total War. Similarly, the rest of the
supported applications I tried didn't give me much to complain
about; none of them ever crashed.

CrossOver Linux allows you to install your favorite Windows
productivity applications, plugins and games in Linux, without
needing a Microsoft Operating System license. CrossOver includes
an easy to use, single click interface, which makes installing a
Windows application simple and fast. Once installed, your
application integrate seamlessly with your Gnome or KDE
environment. Just click and run your application, exactly as you
would in Windows, but with the full freedom of Linux.

Installing your favorite Windows software is easy. New Windows
applications can be installed using their normal installation
CDs. Just place a Windows CD in your PC, and CrossOver will
recognize it and offer to begin the installation process.
CrossOver then completes the installation and configures your
application to run under Linux. That's all there is to it.

CrossOver Linux lets you use many Windows plugins directly from
your Linux browser. Plugin works on any x86 based Linux
distribution and will integrate with most browsers including
Firefox 1.x, Netscape 6.x, Konqueror, Mozilla, and Opera.
CrossOver also integrates with Gnome and KDE to let you
transparently open any Word, Excel or PowerPoint file. But even
better, you can open these attachment types directly from any
mail client. Because CrossOver uses the natve Windows plugins,
you get the best compatibility possible.
