ST. PAUL, MN-(June 11, 2002)-CodeWeavers, Inc., a leading Windows-to-UNIX software developer, today unveiled CrossOver Office Version 1.1, the newest version of its breakthrough software solution that allows Linux and Unix users to operate Microsoft Office and Lotus Notes on their PCs without the Windows operating system.
With Version 1.1, CodeWeavers is officially supporting both Microsoft
Outlook and Internet Explorer, in addition to the already-supported Microsoft
Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and IBM Lotus Notes. This enables organizations
to make the transition to a Linux desktop without having to completely replace
their internal systems. "With Outlook and Internet Explorer support, we feel that
we have rounded out the most important features of the Microsoft Office Suite,
and have made it simple and painless for an organization to adopt the Linux
desktop" said Jeremy White, founder and CEO of CodeWeavers.
Outlook and Internet Explorer Support in Multiple Languages.
Version 1.1 provides support for most Western languages, including
German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and many more. "The support
for Portuguese was something invaluable that will enable wide scale use for
both private and government institutions. It will close one of the last issues
preventing nationwide adoption of Linux," said Rodrigo Barbosa Chief Security
Officer of TIS, a Brazilian IT company.
CodeWeavers expects to complete support for double byte languages such as
Japanese, Chinese, and Korean in the near future, which will then complete
the CrossOver language support.
Best TrueType® Reproduction in Linux
CrossOver Office now includes the logic necessary to exactly reproduce
Apple TrueType fonts in Linux, so that all Windows fonts appear as cleanly
and crisply in CrossOver as they do in Windows. This extends to printed
documents which now precisely match those printed on Windows. Version 1.1
also provides a wide range of other bug fixes and enhancements, including
better support for document automation.
CrossOver Office is priced at $54.95 per user, with workgroup, site, and
enterprise license discounts available. For additional information, and to
