Bordeaux 1.2 was released today and its a major upgrade over the initial 1.0 release, version 1.2 comes with Office 2007 support, better IE support and cellar support. Cellars are in short just another name for bottle support, with the new cellar support each application or game can be installed into its own wineprefix "cellar" and on top of that you can install unsupported applications and games into their own unsupported cellar. This gives you a sandbox to test in while leaving your supported applications and games in a safe environment.
The cost of Bordeaux 1.2 is $20.00. Anyone who bought 1.0 can upgrade to this release for free as an incentive for being brave enough to try out the initial release of Bordeaux. Bordeaux comes with six months of upgrades and support and of course a 30-day money back guarantee.
Supported Applications/Games:
- Microsoft Office 2007
- Microsoft Office 2000
- Adobe Photoshop CS and CS2
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 6
- Steam and Steam based Games
About Bordeaux:
The Bordeaux Technology Group is a software services and development company specializing in Windows compatibility software. Users of Linux systems from time to time find themselves in the need to run specialized Windows software. The Bordeaux suite enables access to these programs and data in a seamless and low cost manner without requiring licensing of Microsoft Technology. The Bordeaux Group also provides migration services and support for alternative operating systems specializing in Windows compatibility.
There is a multitude of software developed only for the Windows operating system and even when software vendors port thier applications
to another platform, generally it lacks features that the Windows version contains. The only solution these developers face is to have
access to both systems for testing which leads to increased infrastructure demands, and wasted project resources. If you are vendor
interested in supporting your application on Linux or a software user that needs to run a Windows application on Linux, we can help.
Version 1.2 New Features:
- Added support for basic Office 2007 applications Word, Excel, Powerpoint
- Dropped IEs4Linux in favor of direct install of IE using Bordeaux
- Cellar support and basic Cellar manager implementation
- Each supported application now gets its own private cellar at ~/.bordeaux/appname
- Extra winetricks packages marked Unsupported and by default install to cellar ~/.bordeaux/unsupported
Bug Fixes:
SH Installer now ships with French Translation
Deb Package properly creates Menu items
