Crossover Office makes MS Office much more bearable, because: - you get rid of the underlying Windows OS, which is the greatest source of administrative aggravation - you can do remote displays of the application (especially with Crossover Office Thin Client Edition), which means you only need to upgrade/patch it in one place for several users (Tho you still need to buy licenses for each user. ;( ); plus the obvious benefits of being able to run your application from anywhere to anywhere.
