Will desktop excel actually run smoothly on this? It's been ages since I've tried, but I didn't have much luck in the past.

I'd really love to ditch my windows machine, but my employer makes use of excel plugins that only run on the desktop version.



Looks like it's changed a lot. It looks like it was good until about 2010, then it stopped working. Might also be why they apparently renamed it to "Crossover" from "Crossover Office." Guess I'm really out of date here. :)

Wait, maybe I was looking at _Mac_ compatibility. It looks like 365 runs decently on Linux.

They have a site you can check compatibility at: https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/crossover/microsof... is the page for MS Office 365.

You can download a free trial and see if it works.


Thanks for the update! I'll give the free trial a shot when I get some free time.
