EIOffice 2004 vs. MS Office 2003

Posted by michael on from the with-the-speed-of-pure-java dept.

ryen writes "Designed to compete against MS Office, EIOffice 2004 is coded in Java therefore able to run on both Windows and Linux. EIOffice 2004 offers features which should get a few users' attention, but does it have enough to have people switching from MS Office? Flexbeta has the review." That's Evermore Integrated Office, if you're wondering.

      There was a server on a farm...

      E-I E-I EIOffice.

      And that server got slashdotted.

      E-I E-I EIOffice.

      With a packet dropped here...and a packet dropped there...

      At first I thought it was a Spanish version of Office:

      El Office Grando.

    In Canada EI stands for Employment Insurance, something you collect when you lost your job, affectionately known as "The Pogy." So looking at EIOffice, does it mean that your employment in an office is ensured, or is it the Pogy Office where you pick up your cheque?

    You're forgeting the Java moto. "Write once, run once, mabey twice, three times if your lucky".

    Back in 99, Symantec (of Visual Cafe fame) sent me a flyer for a new Java Debugger. They were trying to play off of Java's motto, but "Write once, Debug everywhere" made me laugh really hard.
