Comment Re:What sold me.. (Score 1) 781

I've grabbed a trial version of CrossOver and have been tempted to try it with L4D, TF2 and the FEAR 2 demo to see. If it can run them at similar frame rates without any crashes or glitches I'd be more apt to switch over. If I end up spending more time researching fixes than I do playing, I'll stick to windows.

Is the gaming benchmarks.

I've been slowly switching from XP to Ubuntu on my work laptop, but I am still stuck with XP at home. I just play too many PC games to give up XP. I really don't care if it boots slower than Ubuntu, or takes longer to shut down. What matters to me is actually using the PC.

Thanks I'll check it out. My latest attempts were install outlook 2007 through the latest version of wine. That's been an effort in futility as well. I can get it installed, but then when I run the account setup wizard the pages are all blank. I managed to snag one of those free serial numbers for Codeweavers CrossOver when they were giving them out back in October, maybe I'll give that a shot.

Two main problems that I'm trying to overcome:

Exchange support. Evolution just doesn't cut it. It won't load my global address list and it doesn't seem to handle the "location" field for meeting invites. That means when I get an invite or try to send one I have no clue where our meeting will be.

CVS. I really like TortoiseCVS and can't find an equivalent that is as easy to use. I guess it's not a big deal, I could go back to using the cli, but what can I say, I am lazy. :)

Everything else has been good so far.
