"The obvious difference between having CrossOver Office and not
having it, is that you cannot run Microsoft Office or Lotus (for
Windows) products on your Linux box natively. Instead, the best
comparison to make with this product is between Linux with WINE or
Linux without it. An answer to this question doesn't take long to
find.
"In the WINE Application Database I find that Microsoft Office
is not considered compatible with WINE in any version. Lotus Notes,
another product supported by CrossOver Office 1.0.0, is compatible
with WINE if you're looking at Lotus Notes versions 4.6a or 5--and
it's version 5 that CrossOver Office can handle. So if it's Lotus
Notes you're after, then you may not need something like CrossOver
Office 1.0.0. Not everyone finds Lotus Notes 5 to work properly in
WINE, however. Check out the comments in the WINE Application
Database for more information..."
