really, this is one great example of a project-company symbiose which
seems to work out. crossover offers the guarantee certain apps will work,
while everybody can go get the latest wine release or even cvs to get a
more up-to-date but not-guaranteed-to-work piece of software.

wine is progressing great lately. more games are working, MS office &
friends work - really good. solved my girlfriends trouble with OO.o
(school and other students demand PERFECT MS office format compatibility,
only available from MS-office-on-wine in linux). and having Internet
explorer on linux can be a lifesaver as well, tough i use it only twice a
year...

this allows ppl to use linux even tough they NEED win stuff, crucial to
many to finally make the switch.
