Installing Ms Office on Ubuntu

I inserted a CD of Microsoft Office 2007 on Kubuntu and ran setup.exe through Wine. 

Seeing if the programs have been installed correctly
Launching Ms Word: This pop-up showed and it froze there
Launching Ms Excel: This appeared and it frozed
Launched Ms Outlook: It froze just after the wizard finished
Launched Ms Picture Manager: I could access the menus in this one. But couldn’t open any pictures from my drive
Conclusion:-
Ms Office is unusable on Linux right now. But it could work in a near future. There is hope 🙂

My Favorite Game comes to Linux: Seven Kingdom

I spent my most of my childhood times doing mainly these 3 things:-
1. Playing Lego
2. Cycling
3. Playing Seven Kingdoms!
Seven Kingdoms is a Real-time Strategy (RTS) game. You are a king and and you have to build your empire so as to conquor the world.
However, the game has a slight issue. It can’t go in Full Screen mode or even maximize it. It would only play at a resolution of 824 x 645. It kinda spoils all the fun as you can scroll freely around.
And when you go in the main menu, it says “Quit to Windows” which is quite funny xP
To install it on Ubuntu or its derivatives, type this in the terminal:-

sudo apt-get install 7kaa
