Hi everyone,
I thought I'd let you guys know that today we have launched version 1.0 of our next product, which we are calling 'CrossOver Office'.
Basically, we've tuned Wine so that it installs and runs Office and Notes very nicely, and we're selling that in a nice bundle.
Since it's LGPL, the Wine code to do that will be coming back to Wine shortly. Please give us a bit of time; we're going to be overwhelmed here shortly, and I'd like to make sure that as the code comes into Wine, each developer gets proper credit for their work.
I did want to extend an offer to everyone here, though. I'll cheerfully send any wine hacker a copy of both of our products for free (heck, we couldn't have done this without your help; taking your money wouldn't be right). Just email thanks@codeweavers.com and we'll send download instructions to wine hackers whose email we recognize.
Finally, I wanted to dedicate this release to Aric Stewart, who has through some unfortunate circumstances not been credited for all of his hard work on Wine. Thanks, Aric - you made this possible.
This is it, everyone. I think Wine is really ready to rock and roll this year. Yeeha!
Cheers,
Jer
