There used to be a funky Linux office suite called Siag Office.
It worked.
I use past-tenses in my above sentences because the author of the Siag Office, Mr. Ulric Eriksson, got so offended by software patents that he shut down the Siag Office website in protest.
If you want to try out Siag Office, you can STILL download the latest version HERE.
One little thing that I can not understand is why all the graphic cards are optimized for Direct-X ?
I mean, I know that MS-Windoze has almost all the market out there, but to design a chip and hardcode it to run Direct-X is just plain dumb - since that would play into the hand of Microsoft and the whole thing is turning into a really bad loop.
One thing about the open-source camp is that we are damn too stubborn to listen to the users - we design what WE want, not what the users want.
Look at X-windows.
It isn't have bad, but then, half-bad just isn't good enough when compared to Windows's Direct-X.
That's why it's so hard to get game developers to develop games that play on X-windows powered machines.
Darn it !
When will we ever gonna learn ?
Don't we know that we are running out of time ?
The market out there is NOT the servers' market, but the USERS' market !
We gonna have to listen to the USERS, and we gonna be market savvy in order to compete against Microsoft.

Question:
Has anyone here tried the new Gnome 2.4 with Sun's Java Desktop System ?
The review is about JDS with Gnome 2.2 and I want to know how it feels with Gnome 2.4
Can anyone help out, please ?
Thank you !
