I'm going to reinstall when Intrepid comes out so I'll have a play with it then.

I think it's mainly that the games one is tailored more to games and competed with TransGaming's Cedega (which is also based on Wine). I tried CrossOver Office Pro a couple of years ago and it worked fairly well but I haven't had chance to play with it recently.

Prior to the Hardy release party, I kept up-to-speed over IRC. Unfortunately my new employer blocks IRC so I've no idea what social arrangements are being made.
