Crossover does QuickTime, it is written by a company called Codeweavers. It
is a plugin for viewing attachments and QuickTime movies in browsers. I was
mistaken in that it is in fact a software project called WINE that is
allowing Office to run. Also, it would be more correct to call WINE an
emulation layer that bridges between Win32 (Windows) and X11 (X
Windows/XFree86) API calls. In fact, this computer doesn't need to be
running Linux, in fact there is nothing in the images that indicates it is
Linux. It could be any number of *nix OS's, such as x86 Darwin or some
other type of BSD.
That's my 3¢.
