More and more people are switching from Windows over to Linux, or at the very least setting up the Linux OS on their system just to mess around with. But, many people stick with Windows just because of all of the software designed for it. Many Linux distros come with a large library of open source software already installed on it, and this software pretty much allows the user to perform most PC tasks right after installation. However, people love their Windows software. Well, CrossOver Office for Linux allows Linux users to run such programs as Microsoft Office, Photoshop, Internet Explorer (if you are so inclined), and other apps on a Linux PC. They are working on improving the program to the point where 95% of all Windows applications will be able to operate on Linux platforms.
CrossOver Office is includes with the Xandros 3.0 Deluxe distro, but other users can go to www.codeweavers.com to learn more and buy.
