Am I reading this right? It can run Excel more or less seamlessly like it's a native Linux program? Is there a catch?

That would be game changing in convincing some people to switch to Linux.



Well yes, it runs Excel in a VM running Windows. Which means you need an extra Windows license to be able to do it legally, but other than that, it works...


Not only a license, but I’m kind of still seeing that you would need to run your Windows VM with the entire range of Microsoft updates, defender, antivirus, and monitoring if your corporate, etc.

No?


Furthest at the absolute bottom: "Yes :)"
