Hallo,
on http://www.vnunet.com/News/1138118 Suse's Dan Homolka is cited with:
Suse Window support is based on Codeweavers Cross Office.
Does this stand a real world test?
Bye
Considering that afaik Office runs as one process, I can't understand how context-switching performance would make any difference.
If anything, it should run slower as Wine isn't as optimized as Windows is, and Windows apps will be optimized for fast threading, as Windows apps make far greater use of threading than multiple processes but Linux threading support is yet another area that it's in flux.
On the other hand, getting rid of Clippy is a feature that makes up for any slight problems Wine may (or may not) have with Office :)

Yes.

Well, we hope so.
