OSNews on the LinuxWorld Exhibition Floor

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the places-to-be dept.

Expo writes "OSNews reports on the second day of the LinuxWorld Expo. Highlights of the article is CodeWeaver's CrossOver Photoshop effort and the fact that OpenOffice.org is collaborating with _all_ the other major Linux office suites and word processors towards the creation of a new, open XML-based, file format. NewsForge also has a report."

  1. Just came to think about a thingie. by miffo.swe · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Is it possible to create a similar approach as with networks on documents. Creating an "OSI" model for documents would allow easy changes along the way and extensions on both high and low levels without the need to rewrite all code at once.

    It has obviously been proven very succesful on networks so do any of you think it would be workable?
