What is Cross-over Office and why should I care?
Crossover Office (or cxoffice) is commercial grade WINE implementation. Its purpose is to allow windows addicts to run their favorite applications under Linux. It works amazingly well – considering the challenge. In other words, it works, but there are a few bugs. From the [RedHat][X Windows Applications] you can launch Word, Excel, or Powerpoint. In nearly all respects these program behave, under Crossover Office, exactly as the do under Windows. With just a few additional idiosyncrasies and bugs thrown in.
