Portable OpenOffice.org 2.01 Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-ideas-are-good-ideas dept.

VeryVito writes "Portableapps.com has released Portable OpenOffice.org 2.01 -- the complete office suite you can run from a USB drive for complete access to both your files and your office apps -- anywhere you go. More than just a neat idea, some say it's a perfect example of "the kind of innovation developers can make when they don't have to worry about selling as many licenses of their work as possible." I don't imagine we'll see a portable Microsoft Office suite any time soon."

    Why is Taco linking to Microsoft Office's home page? Is there a backhanded deal between Slashdot and Microsoft to covertly promote their software?

    Yeah, that must be it.

    "This OpenOffice story, which focused on a feature it had that MS Office didn't, was brought to you by Microsoft."

    "Microsoft. We're gonna mess with your heads."

    Office? We don't need no office, that is so 20th century. All we need now is a laptop, flash drive and a big umbrella.
