Consulting Times interviews Jeremy White
Consulting Times has
an interview with Jeremy White, CEO of CodeWeavers.
"Xandros is incorporating customized versions of CodeWeavers CrossOver Office and CrossOver Plugin solutions into its long-awaited Linux distribution, slated for release around the end of October. This CrossOver for Xandros package allows users to easily install and use critical office programs -- most notably Microsoft Office -- directly under Linux, without the need to purchase a Microsoft Windows license.
To get a take on what this alliance means for the future of the Linux desktop, ConsultingTimes contacted Jeremy White, CodeWeavers founder and CEO. What resulted was a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion on a number of questions, including What will Microsoft do to retaliate?"
Thanks to Steve Harris.

That bit where he says that the main problem with Office XP under CrossOver is that the "activation" feature doesn't work yet ... that's just classic.

So you have QuickTime, Shockwave, Windows Media Player, and the Real Player, for which there are no Linux equivalents.Perhaps not. Maybe it's just me -- so many things are just me -- but ISTM that the *most* damaging thing the Linux Community can do in public is for one part to disparage another part {without doing it's homework,for commercial reasons}. Ok, the QT link is a tiny bit of a stretch, but the other two items have been available for a Long Time.
