If you happen to read the EULA on OfficeXP and many products "Designed for XP" 
you will notice that you are not allowed to run those products outside 
Windows.

If you remember, about 6 months ago I presented Kevin with a copy of an EULA 
included with a Demo CD from Microsoft, where it explicitely said something 
oin the lines : "... you can only view this information using Microsoft 
products running on MS-Windows platform..."

So, even if it is possible to run OfficeXP on Codeweavers' Pluggin, that 
action would break the license.

Also, at least some of newer Microsoft  development tools cannot be used to 
develop OpenSource applications, even if they are designed for Windows.
