OK - thanks - one nice thing about Crossover (and Wine) is that one can 
run specific MS Office applications without having to install a full 
Windows VM operating system.  I presume that with VMWare you have to 
install a full virtual XP or Vista etc before you can then run specific apps
like Excel in it??

I guess the same would be true of VirtualBox that another poster
mentioned?
