yes, you have to already have all your own copies of the windows apps that you want to run. crossover office is *not* an office suite -- it's a variation of the wine software that allows you to simply *run* certain windows apps on your linux box. and while you obviously have the extra cost of MS software, there is the advantage that you're absolutely guaranteed compatibility with MS office since, clearly, that's exactly what you're running. you're not saving on the price of MS office. you're saving in that you don't need to purchase and run an MS O.S. which is, by itself, a small mercy. for those who have no exposure to the crossover products, you might as well waste a minute or two and check it out at www.codeweavers.com. rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
