Something more I do NOT need to do in Linux heh
Apple explains how to garnish a delicious steak with sauteed poo.
People are still running X11 in this day and age? I thought since all the major distros adopted x.org that people quit using the outdated X11. One changes, the other one (sadly) remains the same.
C'mon guys!!! How can a FP be redundant???
Hate to break it to you, but Apple's iWork, or AppleWorks doesn't even come close.
It's fine for kids doing homework, or a casual home user...
but in terms of interoperability... it stinks.
Business people can't afford to spend time dealing with "iWorks doesn't support _______".
End users are *not* geeks. They want simple equvilants. iWork is not an equivilant.
It's a good product. But it's not an office product.
Apple *needs* an office product. It's essential to it being viewed as a productive platform for anyone who interacts with businesses.
There are tons of alternatives to OpenOffice... but it's OpenOffice that keeps Linux at a point where it can be used in the workplace. If OpenOffice didn't exist, Linux would have 0 penetration in the workplace (as a workstation).
OpenOffice is a very good product. It's been a giant blessing for Linux. Apple can use that reliability too. Microsoft isn't guaranteed to keep doing Office for the mac.
