Atul Chitnis adopts .net and uses MS Office

Ah! the power of disinformation 😉

While what is stated in the subject line is not untrue it is not what it seems – In the hard facts of reality it reads that since https://atulchitnis.com was some what of a misnomer (it not being a commercial domain and blah) Atul has changed it to https://atulchitnis.net, the second piece of information is in no way connected to the first – Atul has become one of the early adopters of Codeweavers product Crossover Office. This reportedly amazing program allows you to run M$ Office and M$ Internet Explorer under Linux (note no emulation!!)

However before I jump to shell out $54 I would prefer to wait for more power user reviews. What is of particular interest to me is

1) Do Excel Pivot Tables behave properly
2) Do Excel Macros run properly

This is an absolute must for Swati … …

Also how good or bad is the IE support (this is officially unsupported) as already confirmed by Atul it couldn’t run that M$ thingie of embedded WYSIWYG html editor (you may try it at https://www.sanisoft.com/editor/index.php3) and are the dynamic fonts working? (you should see Hindi font when you visit https://www.aaina-e-ghazal.com)

This is a requirement for me because 90% of the clients use IE to view my work, agreed that 90% of what I do is backend stuff BUT if the front end is 90% ugly then the client is bound to feel that the code is 90% bad …. (mis quoted from ????)
