KOffice 1.6 Released

ingwa writes "The KOffice team today released version 1.6 of its office suite. Among other things, this release contains an improved Krita which can now handle color spaces like CMYK. This makes it the only free image editor that can be used in professional pre-press work. Together with the other improvements, this release probably makes it the best free image editor in the world. The release also contains improvements in Kexi, the MS Access like database application, and a new scripting framework which makes it extremely simple to script applications that handle OpenDocument data. With this release KOffice also surpasses OpenOffice.org in some ways, e.g. it handles over 70% of the W3C MathML test suite while Openoffice.org only handles 22%. See the KOffice homepage for more information."

Re:Marketer alert?

Troll? Come on gang. I'm a new slashdot user, and have been fascinated by slashdot the past 48 hours. Every article I've read has been on-point (except for the "book report" on Ajax, which I declined to comment on), but all of a sudden I read an article that is more 'marketing-speak' than news or a technology synopsis, and I get flagged as a troll when I comment as such?

I realize a lot of folks here are pro *nix and open source software (as am I usually), but that doesn't mean we can't be critical. Should I only contribute if I have something nice to say, or only contribute a negative comment if it's about non-*nix software? Or is it something else that got me flagged as a troll (I don't even know what being flagged a 'troll' means, so maybe I'm overreacting).
