Bordeaux 2.0.0 Beta 2 for Mac Released

LOL gus3 (forget the other 2?) hurt me... the post you deleted was from his original post: http://lxer.com/module/forums/t/30411/

LXer/Mac news The world is talking about GNU/Linux and Free/Open Source Software & Steve Jobs products

Quoting:Should I start posting pornhub links to make some money from there "affiliate program"? Would you have a problem with that?

Me, personally.... no.

Somehow though, I think that would not meet the requirements of what may be posted on this site.

On the other hand be it Codeweavers or Bordeaux, or any other WINE helper, I'm quite OK with people posting about it, even if it isn't directly Linux related. Personally I'm quite chuffed that someone is making money from FOSS.

Other editors milage on the subject may differ.

"Chuffed"? What does it mean, this "chuffed"?

It's Pommie slang, meaning Pleased

@ tracyanne Once again what is foss about Mac or Bordeaux in this story? So this story was nothing but social spam which seems to be a growing trend.

If you watch Thomas and Friends, you'll hear "chuffing" all the time. My son starting using the word and I couldn't figure out what it meant.

@scan2006 . WINE is FOSS, Bordeaux, like CodeWeavers, is a proprietary WINE helper application (both projects contribute back to WINE), I'm quite happy for Bordeaux to make money by selling Bordeaux to Mac users, it helps WINE, a FOSS project.

@gus3 @bigg

No bites on Pommie?

@tracyanne:

"Pommie" is slang for "Pomeranian."

Actually it's Stryne for English, as in person from England.

Rats, no ejected beverages...

I was too lazy to roll out Wine on my own. Bordeaux was acceptably cheap and performs as promised, so I'm a happy customer.

> "Pommie" is slang for "Pomeranian."

Actually, I'm fairly certain I've heard it used that way. Of course, it may have been an English Pomeranian for all I know.

And Stryne is how real Strynes say Australia

@Steven, I'm testing the latest version of Codeweavers. it claims to be able to install IE8 and Safari, but neither worked for me after I installed them.

Quoting:it claims to be able to install IE8 and Safari, but neither worked for me after I installed them.

So Codeweavers works just like Windows! *eg*

I want to play! I'm so chuffed I could hug a chook. Put a shrimp on the barbie.

Quoting:And Stryne is how real Strynes say Australia

Oh... I thought it was short for Strychnine.

We have sent all of our Wine changes back to WineHQ for inclusion.

I'm not getting in the middle of a flame war. :)

So this is my one and only post to this thread.

Cheers, Tom

Bordeaux promised IE7, and that worked. I'm also using older Wine — the version in the Debian Lenny repos, so I probably can't run as many things as later builds allow for.

If I had a copy of MS Office for Windows (and I don't), I'd test it.

Safari in Windows is just too much punishment. I installed it on an XP box for cross-browser testing, but it's just so, so bad. Runs as well as other OS X ports to Windows (iTunes, Quicktime), meaning very poorly.

MSOffice 2007 works fine under WINE, at least Word and Excel, and Outlook, but I didn't install MSO using CodeWeavers, I used PlayOnLinux, for my test. I've unistalled it now, but integration was quite good, and I had the option of opening .doc and .docx with either OO.o or MSWord.
