Crossover (NOT Wine) implementation of Office 2k

Sorry, you're wrong here. Wine does NOT require a copy
of Windows. Wine is a complete implementation of M$'s
Windows APIs and doesn't require any M$ software at
all, although if I remember correctly it can load a
Windows .DLL instead of using its own native ones.

CrossOver Office does in fact use Wine, and
Codeweavers contribute any improvements they make to
Wine back to the Wine project, as they should.
