RedOffice 4.0 Beta Updates OpenOffice UI

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the but-is-it-better dept.

Johannes Eva writes "As IBM Lotus Symphony shows its first public version 1.0, the Chinese OpenOffice.org derivative RedOffice offers the first beta of its new version 4.0. The open source RedOffice gets a new UI inspired from Microsoft Office 2007, with a vertical 'ribbon.' Is this the future of OpenOffice.org?"

    "ain't nobody free on this hunk of dirt, and very few who even know well enough how to even ask for freedom in the first place."
    You sound like a teenager who is going through a big disillusionment phase where you think you know it all and enjoy making grand sweeping statements. The fact is that some people are more free than others.

    You are not impressing me.
