Review of KOffice 2.0 Alpha 8 – On Windows

Posted by timothy on from the didn't-see-that-coming-did-you dept.

4WebChimps writes "As featured previously on Slashdot, the KOffice project is working towards a cross-platform, open source office suite for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. The most recent release, KOffice 2.0 Alpha 8, achieved that goal by being the first release for all three operating systems simultaneously. Want to try KOffice on Windows? TechWorld has a review (with screenshots) of KOffice on Windows, including the installation process which is as simple as clicking a few buttons (the online installer does the rest). Hopefully it won't be long before KOffice sits alongside OpenOffice.org as a usable cross-platform open source productivity suite."

    It's particularly good that they're embracing Windows -- it worked for Firefox.

    Yep, pretty soon I'll be installing Firefox to replace my Windows installation.

    Why? Emacs uses less RAM. PLUS it has a web browser built in
