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

    Pino P got it.
    In my Original Submission, [soylentnews.org] I said

    "I'm wondering what the reaction will be from mcgrew".

    mcgrew has said previously that publishers require an actual M$Orifice installation to interact with them and that the slight differences of LibreOffice, et al., are not acceptable.

    He has also mentioned his aggravation with Windoze and his desire to use Linux fulltime.
    Celestial (4891) recently expressed a similar disappointment/desire. [soylentnews.org]
    ...plus a mention of Windoze-only apps.
    Days ago, RoboLinux was my best suggestion for these folks. (Same page) [soylentnews.org]

    So, this was specifically for that bunch.
