crossover office test drive
Yesterday, CodeWeavers relesed CrossOver Office Beta. In the beginning I was pretty thrilled about the possibilities, but I sobered pretty soon.
My test series and the results:
- MS IE 6 on Win98: installation without error, no binary found to launch
- MS IE 6 on Win2000: installation without error, no binary found to launch
- MS IE 5.5 on Win2000: installation aborts, "no pentium CPU present"
- MS IE 6 on WinXP: installation without error, runs, but doesn't display pages correctly
- MSN Messanger 6.01/7.5 on any Win ver: will not install without error message
And in the mean times: WFW - waiting for windows! Though I ran this on a MBP, the App is awfully slow, installing an application and rebooting windows takes forever.
Conclusion? Sure the guys did some great work @ CodeWeavers, but the result is far from useable. Rather use Paralells Desktop, Q or Apple's Bootcamp. I'll check back at CodeWeavers when they've released v1.0.1 of their software.

Personnellement j'utilise Parallels r?ɬ©guli?ɬ®rement sans probl?ɬ®me... seule la gestion des p?ɬ©riph?ɬ©riques USB et la carte graphique peuvent ?ɬ™tre am?ɬ©lior?ɬ©s pour un meilleur confort.
par contre il faut de la RAM :-)
