Is StarOffice Ready To Take On Office?
A reader writes "CNET has an article about: Is StarOffice ready to take on MS Office? A quote: "Bottom line for Sun and StarOffice: If you keep aiming where Microsoft has already been, then your opportunities will be in China. A better tactic is to take aim at where the IT market is going to be and your opportunities will be much wider.""
Well this is exactly what I expected from CNET, a load of FUD. Let me dispel some of the myths in this article:
Myth: Office has a broad range of functionality.
Fact: Office is a buggy useless piece of crap like all microsloth applications. All it's good for is pissing you off with that damned paperclip.
Myth: Office makes you productive.
Fact: Linux makes you more reproductive. Chicks dig it, and the spreadsheet in Star Office can tell you which ones are ovulating. Where are your priorities.
Myth: Star office is not suited for the US corporate desktop.
Fact: Star office is made by Sun, a comany name that is not easily ridiculed. By contrast, Microsoft is regularly referred to as Microsloth, Microsucks, Micro$oft, and Micro~1 on slashdot. Who'se better suited for the corporate desktop now, bitch?
Remember slashdot rule #12: No matter how illogical, factually incorrect or malicious it may be, it's not FUD if it attacks Microsoft.

fortunatly, my wife doesn't cling to irrationalities. Some would say that her devotion to her husband is the exception. but I digress
of course you should do a funtionality test to ensure the new software can do what the old one did as easily, if not more easy.
