I would like to install Office 2003 on my laptop. Which is better suited to run Office 2003; Cedega or Wine? I don't feel like spending any money on crossover office and I don't like open office.

But you'd spend money on Cedega?

Its up to you, but I found Crossover Office is worth the money and runs Office 2003 quite well. It now also plays the games I used to use Cedega for, and the frontend is the kicker. The way it handles menu, desktop icons and can isolate Window programs in bottles is great. It also can make your installed window programs into a RPM for easier installing later.

If you only want to choice between Wine and Cedega, I would go with wine.

I second Headrush's opinion, Crossover Office is the way to go.
