I have found crossover office to be very good at exactly what it says it is intended for - the versions of MS Office that it supports.
Agreed but it is very slow. In most cases - IMO, the better solution is to migrate to OO whenever possible. In one instance, I had a complex xls spreadsheet that used some complex vb scripts to obtain and parse external data. I found that I could accomplish the same thing with MySQL, PHP and JpGraph (beta).
I'm guessing but I suspect that many, perhaps most, people use wine for browsing those sites that insist on IE (yuck).
