It's supposed to support the Asian-language versions of MS Office now. 
 I  bought vers. 2.0.1  yesterday and but am working through some 
problems installing MS Office 97 J, which CrossOver apparently now 
supports (and judging from some postings from Japanese on the CrossOver 
mailing list, it does).  I'll post the outcome here.  It does seem to 
support some applications I wouldn't have expected it to support, such 
as Stedman's medical dictionary (English only).
