[Wolves] CrossOver Office & LugRadio

[Peter Cannon]

Hi All

I was gob smacked last night while listening to LugRadio 
[On iTunes running in CrossOver Office on my SuSE box]

After my posts regarding the voting for software apps to be ported to Linux I 
coughed up £22.54 for CrossOver Office Standard Edition on Sunday morning and 
installed ACT.

If anyone is interested in Windows apps running on a Linux machine have a look 
at

Or just have a look at the screen shot

I agree its not the perfect solution IMHO using CrossOver is akin to VMware as 
you're running the app in a container rather than native to the system but 
hey I'm a great believer in "More than one way to skin a cat".

I tried installing Age Of Empires but it wouldn't run :(

To be honest its that one and only game that keeps me tied to Windows at home.

PS 
There was a discussion about playback quality on the LugRadio, my playback was 
rubbish on the iTunes (see top paragraph) although I think it was to do with 
resources everytime KMail checked for mail the playback faltered strangely 
the playback is perfect with iTunes on a Windows box (I checked this 
morning).
