Hi everybody

Sorry for being late, I don't have a lot of free time at the moment. Here's PlayOnLinux 4.0.14 changelog.

Language files updated

Thank you to everybody for helping us to translate PlayOnLinux and PlayOnMac If you want to help us to translate the program, you can go to launchpad.

I installed MS Office Professional 2010 on my Ubuntu computers and it's working fluently.

It is a nerve breaking experience for a Linux new bee to work with open-office for documentation works than their favorite MS Office. New interface and new formats of open office makes them reluctant to take it as a first choice. So this post is for those who are tired of rebooting your system to make small changes in the documentations.

Now you don’t want to reboot your system to get windows™ and MS Office™ to work on your documents. You can do it from any Linux distribution with wine.

To help further Wine development please consider purchasing a copy of CrossOver from CodeWeavers.

Wineskin 2.5.4 update is out! You can get it in Wineskin Winery or use the normal Manual download option on the Downloads Page.

I'll work on getting the Manual and FAQ updated.

The list of stuff!

Jon Parshall the COO at CodeWeavers posted a video of Alexandre Julliard's Wineconf 2011 keynote. Alexandre Julliard, is the Maintainer of the Wine Project, in his keynote he describes the current state of Wine, and what's in the works for upcoming Wine 1.4 release.

Once upon a time, Mac was a happy little gaming platform, with such breakout releases as Puzzle, Through the Looking Glass and Myst. But then a tragedy fell upon the world of Mac, their arch-nemesis Microsoft created an evil potion called Direct X, and Microsoft slipped this poison into the drinks of game developers. Upon consuming this poison, the developers turned into mindless slaves, to be controlled by the evil Microsoft, and at Microsofts bidding, the developers stole games away from their Mac homesteads.

For years upon years, nobody heard Mac’s plight to have these games returned to them, but eventually a hero heard the cries of help from distressed Macs everywhere, and this brave hero, who we shall call Jeremy White (or Jer, for short), banded together a gaggle plethora schooltable of brave knights and knightesses, whom he called CodeWeavers.

Together, the CodeWeavers found a way for both Mac and PC to share games (and not just games, but other software) together, but over all the years a lot of games had fallen victim to stockholm syndrome, and so the CodeWeavers had to find a way to trick these games into playing with their Mac parents and siblings, and so they created a Direct X anti-venom, which they dubbed “Cross-over Games”.

So we've been thinking here at the CodeWeavers ranch that we need a good tagline to summarize what we do in a 8 words or less. Something as unforgettable as Milk's "Got Milk?" Or as timeless as Nike's "Just Do It!" Or as awesome as Timex, "Takes a licking and keeps on ticking." Sure, we could do it ourselves, but we would rather open it up to our loyal customers and fans and reward them with an 8 GB iPod touch. Enter as many taglines as you wish by filling out the form below or mailing us your submission to 700 Raymond Ave. Suite 120, St. Paul, MN 55114.. Contest runs from July 1, 2011 through July 22, 2011. The marketing department will handpick the winner and not only will you win an iPod Touch, you will also get to see your tagline displayed on our future website!
