CodeWeavers reports
Gone are [...] the days that we hopelessly tried to register Microsoft Office 2013. You read that right, people. [On November 2], we successfully registered Microsoft Office 2013 in a CrossOver 16 alpha build. We [can] also:
- Open, create, edit, save, and print Microsoft office documents
- Activate a copy of Microsoft Office 2013 [with a] product key or a 365 subscription
- Use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Project
"Everyone at CodeWeavers is incredibly excited to see Microsoft Office 2013 installing, registering, and running in CrossOver. After four years of continued development, we are preparing to deliver support for the 2013 versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Project in CrossOver 16 (due out later this year). And we hope that our development will continue making strides to include support for Outlook 2013 and Microsoft Office 2016 in the coming months." -- James Ramey, President

OSX's native office suite is much prettier and has the same functionality, or close enough to make no difference for 99% of people. Why would you want to run Word when you can run Pages? Even the spreadsheet app is competetive with Excel, so why would you ever want to do this?

And a Mac is so much cheaper than CrossOver?
Or are you suggesting people set up a virtual machine as a Hackintosh?

I've only known crossover as an OSX application, didn't realize it was also for linux when I posted - if you're running OSX you don't need MS Office because it's own suite is almost fully compatible. For Linux I guess this would be useful, especially if the only windows thing you want is office. Frankly, I'm surprised MS hasn't started marketing their most popular software in linux compatible formats.
