     I think the new CrossOver story is very ripe and aimed at wide 
readership.

*CrossOver Impersonator simplifies running Windows software on Mac and 
Linux*

     CrossOver is a successor/beneficiary to WINE inheriting
all the patches and the rest of what was learned by WINE
developers and users.

	If CrossOver is as good as described then being
able to run Windows proprietary programs will aid Linux
penetration of the user market.


     later
