Kurt, I used Xover for evaluation only. I recall we wanted it for
Quickbooks, and MS office components. I also remember we thought it was
a nice product and would be a good way to run those apps. Various other
spurious apps were installed also, but I don't remember those. The
business closed shortly after that, so I don't have any "long-term"
success stories to tell. It seemed to work well during the evaluation
and we thought it interesting that it "simulated" a windows reboot after
we installed these apps. My goal here to replace the final desktops that
were running windows. Since we could not a good replacement for
Quickbooks, we would have used it with Xover.
