Novell Releases OO–OOXML Translator

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the biting-the-hand dept.

Tookis writes in with news that Novell has released an Office Open XML (OOXML) translator for OpenOffice.org. The article argues that, though this move may represent a nail in the coffin of the franchise known as Microsoft Office, and therefore a Good Thing, what is truly needed is a fully supported Evolution on Windows.

    Techies love to complain about things like the ribbon, but everyone I see actually use it loves it.

    I'm not so sure. Using ribbons to tie up the hair is so 18th century. Nice-looking girls have switched to prettier things like hair-bands ....

    Besides, do female techies exist? And if so, do they read Slashdot???
