CrossOver 17 Lets You Run Microsoft Office 2016 on Linux

Yup, that means the latest version of CodeWeaver‘s commercial Wine offering also supports the latest version of Microsoft’s hugely popular Office suite, including both Home and Business editions.

Everquest
Everquest II
WebSite-Watcher
Battle.Net

Why do I need Windows again?

Just use wine dingus

Is Office 2016 already supported in Wine or do I have to wait 4-6 months?

Hell if I know, I use LibreOffice and export to PDF so there's no need to worry about MS Office shitting the formatting.

What if you need to create conditional formatting in calc or a fucking macro? That shit won't fly on MS office.

What does it matter if it will fly or not in MS Office? I'm not working with MS Office, not moving files between the two. I just export to PDF so when I submit my stuff to evaluation it looks like what its meant to look like on the professor's computer.

One day you will start a real business and then you will have to exchange shit between Excel and Calc.

who the fuck plays excel?

come again when it runs GTA V

Even IV was better than V

They're both equally good, I say, but GTA V is far better

>take wine
>resell it
>contributors get nothing
lmao free software more like free slaves

>doesnt know about the excel 97 flight simulator easter egg

Fuck MS Office tho, I know better and they are libre.

Shit example since wine gets actual funding, code and hosting from CrossOver.

>it's okay because some of the people get funded for all of the work
>it's okay because some of the bills are paid but not all of them
shit example

wine=bloat
tex, troff, suckless sent > office
non cross platform gaymes=trash

It's especially bad when you factor in how little funding ReactOS gets and how much they contribute back to Wine.

>non cross platform gaymes=trash
gta is available for xbox 360, xbox one, ps3, ps4 and pc though
that's 5 platforms so far
I suppose mac support will come as well (in 10 - 20 years like with the older gtas), as michael has an iPhone

meh, on the Macs GTA is just running thru Wine

If they're like the older cedega/transgaming tier ports, I assume they feel and run like shit. Got a feeling Unreal Tournament 2004 is the only recent game I'll play on my mac for a while longer. Kinda tired of dealing with software through Wine. It's better to run proper ports, native alternatives, or just run that piece of software in Windows.

>he doesn’t understand why excel macros are important
LMFAO you have to be at least 18 to post here, little boy.
Children use crossover and wine. Men use integrated VM.

VMWare fusion is prett badass right now too

> Men use integrated VM.
You would have to pay for Windows license to run it in a VM anyway, fool.

Crossover is just a wrapper for an outdated version of wine.
