Cross Platform: new versions of Win4Lin and CrossOver Office
NeTraverse announced immediate availability
of the next version of the award winning Win4Lin Workstation
product. Version 5.0 extends the ability of Win4Lin to help users
painlessly bridge from legacy Windows environments to Linux and Open Source
infrastructure models.
CodeWeavers has announced CrossOver Office version 2.0.1. This is primarily a bug fix release. (Log in to post comments)
Cross Platform: new versions of Win4Lin and CrossOver Office Posted May 25, 2003 18:11 UTC (Sun) by horen (subscriber, #2514) [Link] I've been a Win4Lin user since their first release (I still have the original CD and case). It's a great product, and despite the fact that it does not support Windows 2000, I continue to use it, upgrade it, and purchase each new version that is released. In fact, it is much faster than VMware/3.2.1, which I use at work and at home, due to it's support for Windows 2000.My beef (naturally, I've got one, otherwise why bother posting this comment?) is that although they have added support over the years for Middle- and East-European, and Pacific-Rim languages, NeTraverse has yet to add support for right-to-left languages -- Hebrew and Arabic -- spoken/written/read by a hefty chunk of the world's population. Of course I've written to them about this glaring omission! One might think, in view of the way Gulf War II ended and the rebuilding of Irag, and America's penchant for involvement in things Middle-Eastern, that NeTraverse might just find a way to add that RTL support and enable us to install Hebrew or Arabic localized/enabled versions of Windows 95/98/ME. I'm still waiting, and will probably purchase version 5.0 --
Cross Platform: new versions of Win4Lin and CrossOver Office Posted May 25, 2003 20:04 UTC (Sun) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] I remember that feeling from the good old times of OS/2. Waiting for the next release or fixpack without being able to do anything but to ask politely. Even if you think you are the one with the right experience to fix it. Please, please, please, good guys in IBM, be nice to us Russians, fix the clipboard to transfer Cyrillic text between native and Windows applications! Then the fixpack comes out, you download it and find that they still didn't fix it. Or that they did, but broke something else.
Cross Platform: new versions of Win4Lin and CrossOver Office Posted Jun 4, 2003 20:34 UTC (Wed) by yitzhakbg (guest, #11617) [Link] I fully agree with you. I'm also awaiting Hebrew version.
