  5. #1 Problem by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I know computers pretty well. Until OpenOffice can support reading standard MS Word files, it just doesn't have a chance. And writing them would be a big bonus!!

  6. This is really great by PhysicsGenius · · Score: 1, Troll
    Projects like OpenOffice, Gimp and Mozilla keep making Linux more and more competitive with Windows on the desktop. And export to Flash--wow, I never even realized that was something people needed, but now that I've read about it I wonder how I'm living without it. I wouldn't be surprised a bit if Bill Gates was browsing the OO site right now, noshing his teeth in anger and frustration and we just keep coming, like some non-giving-up-programmer guys.

    OTOH, maybe he's just laughing at us. MS Office came out in, what, 1994? Here is it almost 10 years later and we're just barely getting that same functionality. Instead of trying to play catchup from so long ago, I can't help but wonder if Linux should be doing something new. I, for one, could do with having my ping times halved.

    1. Re:This is really great by Dr.+Evil · · Score: 0, Troll

      Linux on the desktop still barely has the functionality of Windows 3.1. Win3.1 still has a more tightly integrated clipboard, a good printing system, excellent screen fonts, no crazy sound managers, etc etc etc.

      The Windows product is not an OS, it is an API. 'Linux' as a desktop OS still doesn't have a 1.0 API. And who would target or invest in a moving platform?

      The fact that MS Office on Win3.1 worked well on a 386 with 8MB of RAM should cause people to pause for thought.

    here in the lab we adopted open office about a year ago as Microsoft did not give a comprehensive equation editor in which we could create our theorums. So far our experiences have been mixed, major findings are:

    File formats are causing a problem. We are unable to send people Open office documents as they can only support MS files. We thus always convert to HTML but valuable information can get lost in the process.

    The spreadsheet is good and has proved invaluable when used for nth level modelling. There is no option for a r squared analysis in the statistics package.

    The word processor is good, although somewhere it is set to autoreplace the word lepton with leprechaun which is proving most annoying as I write my paper on particle physics.

    There's a certain arrogance (moral and technical) in the Open Source communitity that means MS will be around for some time to come just yet.
