Issues with Crossover and code weavers

My qualms and maybe others who are supporting Crossover with premium fees:-

  • It has been 3 continuous major releases from (20-22) which has failed to run all the major apps without hitches(Word, Powerpoint, Excel) even the old office from 2016 or office 365
  • Whats the point in premium payment if everything is to be fixed through Wine or dependence on Wine stuff.
  • Last version 21 saw only two minor version upgrades throughout whole year, maybe justifiable for some supporters but bundled apps crash here and there and you try to avoid clicking the problematic flow in the app without crossover actually fixing it.
  • autofix script is rather dangerous where you have no option in it to revert the packages responsible for more app crashes(if it happens).
  • Whats the point if notifications and Outlook does not work, rather anyone can install Office on VM and use reliably. 
  • What about enterprise integration, can we use office 365 on crossover reliably, i cannot vouch and none other can so whats the point in having crossover.
  •  Most used software which is Office cannot run reliably, well i cannot comment how other apps would be working its like winning gold if you are able to run an app smoothly without an hitch (if wine is already there for similar experience, i heard some people running Photoshop on Wine ;) ).
  • I found Foxit Pdf studio working fine in crossover but not listed anywhere in the packages, how often do crossover update this list(no one knows)??

I think it is unfair, CrossOver contribute to WINE constantly. You paid for official support but keep in mind CrossOver is a truly miracle you can't expect, still nowadays, that everything is smooth considering the complexity. You can give feedback, vote for support.
I'm an IT and Microsoft world is constantly unstable and bugged even without virtualisation or API translation.
I suppose you are referring to Linux since Outlook is native on macOS.

How many of these "Code Weavers don't care" posts you going to make? I just replied to another one exactly like this one.
