scarily Windows-like, but installs in a snap and, if you buy the full edition, comes with Crossover Office for all the Windows
applications you can't wait to run. On another test box (a Dell), MS Office
ran just fine under XandrOS Linux and Crossover Office.

Yes, you must have a licensed copy of MS Office to install it. You do not need a copy of the Windows OS itself.

Hmm, I don't see any clause in the "Office Standard Edition 2003" EULA that would support my claim, so I publicly repent of any FUD that may have been flung your way.
OTOH, the box that the product comes in pretty well states that you
need a Microsoft OS ("System Requirements"). I guess one could say
that since we're running 5.3, or what-not, we have something "later" :-)It's a rather controversial issue, and the EULA's from Redmond are continually varying in their language. Compare some older ones, and see also things like:

I'm not trying to troll now, nor offend; but, based on reading some M$ "documents", as it were, one might very well wonder whether Microsoft really agrees with your last statement or not.
