New OpenOffice.org-Based Office Suite

Voidhobo writes: "SOT, a Linux-distributor from the home-country of Linux, is offering SOT Office, a free productivity suite partly based on OpenOffice, for Linux and Windows. According to SOT, it is the only office application you will ever need, as it is fully compatible with MS Office and StarOffice." OpenOffice is great, so I hope their claims have merit.

This is now illegal

[Hyperfrog]

For those who don't know, Micro$haft has taken legal steps, recently, that mean that no one else can use the M$ Office file types. Basically, making it illegal to read/write M$ stuff without their express permission.

To put it another way: they hate the GPL, they hate Opensource and they hate the way people have taken off their Office Suite and are now doing something about it. Check their press releases for this one, cause I don't have the URL on me.
