Linspire's CNR Technology to Deliver CrossOver Linux 6.0

Linspire, a community desktop Linux operating systems provider, and CodeWeavers, has rolled out CrossOver Linux 6.0 for CNR. CrossOver Linux 6.0 is immediately available via digital download using CNR one-click download and installation software delivery system here.

"With CrossOver Linux 6.0, it is a major step forward for the Windows-to-Linux movement as we have now entered the gaming space," said Jeremy White CEO of CodeWeavers.

World of Warcraft, the most popular Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) is a cornerstone of this effort, the companies said.

"World of Warcraft is an immensely popular title, with millions of players around the world, including many in our core markets," White noted.

In addition, CodeWeavers, the Windows-to-Linux software developer, has also worked hard to increase CrossOver Linux general support for such popular productivity applications such as Office 2003, including support for native connections to Exchange Servers via MS Outlook, as well as products such as MS Project 2003 and MS Visio 2003, the companies added.
