[cw-discuss] When will CrossOver be XP based

[Joseph Bush]

I'c be interested, too. I do have CrossOver HTML Engine installed (in  
the same bottle with Visio), but I'm not clear as to linking it with  
Visio. Visio seems not to see it. I mention it here because I don't  
think it's a problem with CrossOver, rather some omission of mine.

Joe.
