I am trying CrossOver 2.0 on my RH9/SuSE 8.2 laptop and as already pointed out, It Just WOrks!!. I have always had issues with wine with one app or another. I use VMware, but on my laptop since a few win apps are needed occasionally, CrossOverOffice will be well worth the purchase price ($54 USD vs $299 USD for vmware). I have not seen such great and smooth running of Office XP under Linux that I have seen with CrossOver 2.0. YMMV, Keith B.
