 I'm very curious about your experience running CrossOver in Qubes Sven.

How stable and solid is it? How performant? Is it easy to get data in/out 
to other vms (via copy paste or file transfer)?

My worry is that it would be too many layers:

Qubes dom0 (Xen) -> AppVM (linux) -> CrossOver (Windows API translation) -> 
Office

But it sounds like it works for you? In Qubes?

I thought perhaps using a Win10 qube might be more direct and thus better, 
and also potentially more stable over a period of years (since you are not 
relying on Codeweavers to keep maintaining CrossOver by tracking the Win10 
API):

Qubes dom0 (Xen) -> AppVM (Win10) -> Office

....but this seems to be tricky for people and the current state of qubes 
tooling on Win10 not good. So CrossOver holds some interest to me. I have 
similar issues with LibreOffice - it is a wonderful and miraculous body of 
code but I have found it is not good for collaborating with Office users 
(in my case, track changes causing crashes on both sides after several 
rounds of document exchange in Word/LibreWriter).

Thank you for any information....
