Native KOffice for Mac OS X
bsharitt writes "A preliminary version of KOffice has been built natively on Mac OS X. It looks like a lot of the hard part is over, and now a lot of cleaning up and bug fixes stand between Mac OS X and a free full featured office suite." There's also a story on the dot.
sure is a lot of post copying lately
you lick GNAA sweat
You're using the wrong definition of free.
Koffice still very buggy and the project needs more developers.
so how is Drew ? still doing lame things i see
It copies and pastes lame responses to any story with iKrap in them.
How about /. just be honest and put a "+1, anti-Micro$haft" category for moderation, if not an additional automatic bonus, like the karma one?
Sorry pal, my karma hit the cap years ago.
See, if GNAA *really* knew how to troll, they would have changed something in that repost so it was actually funny, and pulled the wool over the eyes of the people who mod posts up before they actually read them. Simple cutting and pasting just increases the signal/noise ratio. It's redundant without being entertaining.
Shame on you.
P.S. Real trolls don't post AC.
Breakfast served all day!
Yes. Karma is now capped at "Excellent" This was done to keep people from running up insane karma scores, and then being immune from moderation. Despite some theories to the contrary, the karma cap applies to every account.

Post: Sigged, for your pleasure.
Well, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are at the cap.
However, when you reply to say its a troll, you are just as bad as they are because you are lowering the signal-to-noise ratio along with them.
So this is why your posts, and mine should be modded down.
How come nobody wants to do a MS Office clone? I don't mean just file formats, but the whole shebang--the same menues, the same dialogs, same icons. Users will have no reason not to switch, since it works just like their favorite program, it has years of user interfacing studies done on it, and it'll be FREE.
In Soviet Russia, articles before post read *you*!
I wish Apple would consider porting OS X to the x86 platform. That would be the best of all worlds to me. X86 - Speed, Unix - Reliability, OS X - Usability. Who couldn't win with that combination?
If Apple charged the same price as Windows XP Professional (~$250+). I'm sure many people would be happy to choose the Apple OS over Microsoft and Apple would be making a pretty good margin. It would exponentially increase their market share. Just imagine if they got OEMs to preinstall it!
Don't tell me it would be too hard to port either. Darwin is ported to the X86 platform already. The foundation is there. Besides they are going to have to port so much stuff to natively support the new G5 hardware anyway. Why not port it to the hardware that will really make you money.
Nailed that aynonimis coward. LOL word for word pure plagerism at its finist. Really Why Bother??
