Codeweavers sells "Crossover Office", "Crossover Games", and recently
"Crossover Mac", which are essentially commercialized versions of Wine
(the Wine developers mostly work for Codeweavers). The advantage to
the Crossover versions is that they provide a nicer user interface for
getting apps running and managing applications, but underneath the covers
the emulation environment is the same Wine stuff that you can get for free.
I've been purchasing Crossover Office for several years now and recommend
it highly. My SANS work requires me to develop course materials in
Powerpoint, and it's great to be able to run MS Office "natively" on
the Linux desktop and not have to fire up a VMware instance.
