With that said I leave you with the interview which was a combined reply by Nick Koch and Tom Wickline (although OSnews only shows Tom Wickline on the replies). Note: this interview was done prior to Bordeaux 1.4 release.

Over the last couple day's I have been working on the Bordeaux for FreeBSD 7 port. We now have everything compiling and running but a lot more testing needs to be done before it's ready for a final release. Internet Explorer, Steam and Office 2003/2007 are the only applications ive gotten around to testing thus far. The good news is everything that I have tested works fairly well on FreeBSD.
If you're a FreeBSD user and need to run any of the software that we currently support on the Linux client you might be interested in helping beta test this build and future builds up to the final stable release. At this time we cant give away beta builds, but what we can do is if you decide to purchase a license from the store for FreeBSD (beta) your support will last six months after the final build is released, so don't worry you will get a full six months of upgrades and support on the final product. And by purchasing a pre release build you can submit your input and help support the development process.
Also, if we get enough interest in beta testing we could start a beta testing mailing list as well.. So if your interested in helping out head over to the store and purchase a license and send us a mail. If you have a friend or know of someone interested in this please send them our way.

About Internet Explorer :
Windows Internet Explorer (formerly Microsoft Internet Explorer abbreviated MSIE), commonly abbreviated to IE, is a series of graphical web browsers developed by Microsoft and included as part of the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems starting in 1995. It has been the most widely used web browser since 1999, attaining a peak of about 95% usage share during 2002 and 2003 with IE5 and 6 but steadily declining since, despite the introduction of IE7. Microsoft spent over 100 million dollars (USD) a year in the late 1990s, with over 1000 people working on IE by 1999. source
About BordeauxGroup, Inc.:
Founded in 2008, The Bordeaux Group focuses on the development of Free Software solutions enabling legacy Windows applications to run on Linux systems and other non-Windows operating systems. Bordeaux for Linux is designed to aide in the transition and migration to non-Windows platforms by bringing Windows software to Linux. The company is privately held. For more information about the Bordeaux Group please visit http://bordeauxgroup.com/
Bordeaux cost $20.00 and at this time and sadly there isnt a demo version, hopefully this will change and a demo will be released for in the 2.x release cycle. There is a possibility a standard free version will be released with just a couple small applications supported and a pro version with more application support.
Internet Explorer Install :
Bordeaux is dependant on Wine 1.0 being installed on your system, so the first thing you need to do is download and install Wine for your distro if its not already installed. Once you have Wine installed open a terminal and run $ winecfg this will create a .wine directory in your home directory.

CrossOver Linux 7.0.2 overview:
This section is for those new to CrossOver Linux. If you already know what CrossOver is and want to find out what's new in version 7.0.2, skip down to the next section.
CodeWeavers' CrossOver Linux is a software framework that emulates the Microsoft Windows 98, 2000 and XP application programming interfaces (APIs) on GNU/Linux. This allows Windows programs to run on GNU/Linux without having to run a virtual instance of the operating system e.g. a virtual machine. CrossOver was originally designed to bring Microsoft Office and Intuit Quicken to GNU/Linux, but many more programs have been tested and are known to work with CrossOver to some degree at this time.
CrossOver Linux is based on the free software Wine API emulator, and adds only commercial support and proprietary installation tools to help with configuration. So in essence, CrossOver is no more capable than recent builds of Wine, but it does have a number of extras that add a great deal of value through convenience. Despite its basis in free software, CrossOver Linux is governed by a proprietary license that prohibits sharing.
