crossover office vs wine 2nd episod
hy guys,
see you again with wine and crossover. i ve tested this two software on quicktime 7.xx installation. I found that wine could not support it. wine produces some error while using this application. The installation process is smooth and nothing to worried about. But the different was, on how this two simulator handle quicktime resources when run in windows application simulator. The wine produces runtime error while crossover office able to play mp4 and mov files. But I don’t make any conclusion here which one is really good. But you decide it yourself.
as for wine, the community and developement team give their effort to make wine as the best free open source windows simulator. may be in the next version it even can handle windows application more stable regardless of their version. who knows. but for me, i still using wine as well as the crossover. Both of them have their own advantages.
P/s: this is my own opinion based on my test result on crossover and wine.
U can leave your opinion too by put it in as a comment.
You can google it if u need more information on these software.
Anyway, thanks for reading this post.
Regrads,
Linux spirit.

Thanks for the mention of CrossOver. We try to keep Quicktime in support from release to release, of course–we won’t ship a new release of CrossOver if Quicktime. That’s part of the deal when you buy CrossOver–we may not officially support a ton of apps, but those apps we do say we support will generally run well when we ship a new release.
Wine has support for Quicktime, too, of course (thanks to us), but it may break from time to time depending on whatever other patches may have been introduced into the codebase recently. And that’s the difference–you get what you pay for, to an extent.
