Study Recommends Gnumeric Over MS Excel

Posted by timothy on from the me-too dept.

With new problems popping up in Office XP the case for spreadsheet users to migrate is only getting stronger. In some related Gnumeric quickies, a new stable version 1.2.6 was released, and Open has done an interview with the Maintainer."
