Review of KOffice 2.0 Alpha 8 – On Windows

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."

Work with Open Office? by gilesjuk · 2008-07-04 00:20 · Score: 0, Redundant

It's a shame the KOffice people can't get together with Open Office and blow Microsoft Office out of the water.
Do we really need two or more office alternatives? I know it can often be frustrating working for these projects and forks have occurred numerous times (XFree86/Xorg) when project leaders have been unwilling to change the software.
