Tried (paid for) Crossover Office sometime ago. MS Office worked mostly
but nothing else did, including iTunes, which was my main reason for
purchasing. Never did get the issue resolved but figured if at least
some of my money was going to open source the what the hell?
I do think that they should not declare iTunes as 100% usable under
Crossover until they get it right. As I recall the excuse was that
Crossover only worked with an iTunes version that was about 2 years out
of date.
