It really is amazing. I run office 2007 without issues on ubuntu. As well as some obscure utility windows software without issues. WINE really is a damn great open source project.
- josteink 13y agoIf you can indeed run Office 2007 without any issues through Wine, I'm starting to see no reasons to keep Windows on my laptop. The last stance so far has been my fiancé and her need for Office. If that falls, I may finally be able to get Linux on my own laptop :)
- mikevm 13y agoI agree. If you forget about gaming, I think that Office (and possibly Photoshop) are Windows' killer apps. Although for those of us that don't pirate movies, a Bluray movie player app would also help...
- plq 13y agoFWIW, I'm playing blu-ray stuff just fine on Gentoo Linux using VLC, with booming HDMI sound.
- pseut 13y agoDual boot?
- rpgmaker 13y agoYes, you can install office 2007 without issues. Office 2010 not so much in my experience, it installs and works fine but apparently the office 2010 software component that validates the license doesn't work quite right. Not on my setup anyways.
