WineX is targeting games, where cxoffice is targeting office apps. WineX
is available for free, since it's using the wine code it's mostly GPLed
I believe. What you pay for is the license for the copy protection
software, which costs Transgaming money. I looked into this when I was
trying to get diablo II to run under linux and the copy protection was
tripping me up. Still, might be worth a try.
