Crossover Office

I’ve been playing around with a CrossOver Office trial from CodeWeavers. It’s awesome…absolutely awesome. It installs and runs "supported apps" quite well. Some non-supported apps run great too. Noteably (no pun intended), NoteWorthy Composer runs very well. CXOffice even adds items to the KDE menu and desktop! Of course, when I installed MS Publisher, it added an IE “shortcut” to my desktop :S.

Apps that I’ve tried so far include:
* Internet Explorer 6 (Installer worked great, app works great–as well as IE can work, anyway)
* Microsoft Publisher (Installed fine, runs slow and is pretty buggy)
* Dreamweaver MX (Installed great using the install routine that CX Office provides. Runs good, kind of slow with major holes)
* NoteWorthy Composer (Installed Great, Runs great!)

Also, I’ve been hacking out the design of the Icewater website. Tell me what you think.
