CrossOver Office 2.0 enables Linux users for MS Office XP

CodeWeavers Inc, the leading Windows-to-Linux software developer, announced
the release of CrossOver Office Version 2.0, now enabling Linux users to run
Microsoft Office XP, Adobe Photoshop 7, and Microsoft Access without the need
for a Windows emulator or OS license.

In addition, the new release will accommodate double-byte languages, allowing
Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions of Windows applications to operate under
CrossOver Office.

CrossOver Office, introduced in 2002, has become a highly popular solution
for individuals and organizations wanting to run key Windows applications in the
Linux OS environment.

In addition to Office XP, Adobe Photoshop, and Microsoft Access, CrossOver
Office supports Lotus Notes; Intuit’s Quicken; Microsoft Outlook, Visio and
Internet Explorer. However, Outlook XP is not supported in CrossOver Office
Version 2.0.

"With version 2.0 of CrossOver Office, Code-Weavers is expanding its
support for today’s most in-demand professional applications," said
Jeremy White, CodeWeavers Founder and CEO. "CrossOver Office continues to
prove its value at many of the world’s most progressive companies due to its
reliability and ease of use-not to mention its ability to lower costs throughout
the enterprise."

By eliminating the need for Windows emulators and Microsoft OS licensing
fees, CrossOver Office saves Linux-based organizations significant software
investment costs. Enterprises save two ways-the low costs associated with Linux,
plus direct access to Windows-based products without purchasing additional
transitional software.

CrossOver Office Version 2.0 supports all major Linux distributions including
RedHat 9.0, Mandrake 9.0, SuSE 8.1 Linux.

The product is priced at $54.95 per user.
