  2. Re:Pointless switch? by Pharmboy · · Score: 1 · on StarOffice 7, GNOME-Office 1.0 Released

    Fortunately, most growth in the US is in small businesses, which are more willing to switch. I have already installed Star Office 6 on two machines and OO on a few machines. The machines running MS office are running the 97 version and will not be updated. We have less than 25 people in the company using computers.

    What got MY boss on the Open Source highway was all the news stories I sent him about MS licensing, the new "We get to roam around your hard drive" provisions, plus the BSA fines of $100,000 for accidental infringement. He still insists on using one Windows application, but I am scheduled to get it running on Wine soon, to start replacing the windows boxes. (Dammit, why can't RH support Wine in a stock install!)

    I used the old "All your base are belong to us" tactic, which of course, is now true with MS licensing. This should not be confused with the The Chewbacca Defense. He is not a PHB but he knows what being sued is, knows what fines are, and knows what the blue screen of death is.

    • what does this have to do with SCO declaring the GPL invalid? What the HELL does it have to do with their lawsuit against IBM. I do not understand.
    But ladies and gentlemen this is Chewbacca. Now think about that for one minute. That does not make sense. Why am I talking about Chewbacca when a man's life is on the line? Why? I'll tell you why. I don't know. It doesn't make sense. If Chewbacca does not make sense you must acquit.
