 | | April 01, 2002 (InfoWorld) Hoping to break down one the biggest barriers to acceptance of Linux on the desktop, CodeWeavers Inc. in St. Paul, Minn., has unveiled software that allows corporate users to run Microsoft Office and Lotus Notes without a Windows operating system. |
 | | Company officials said they plan to market the product directly to corporate users who are considering a migration to Linux, IT consultants who focus on desktop management, value-added resellers and Internet appliance and thin-client users. |
 | | CodeWeavers plans to release software later this year that will allow other popular Windows-based applications to run under Linux, but White declined to say what those applications would be. |
