Maybe the "About Turn" is they decided to get out of the OS business!!!
:-)
Well, one could only hope...
Yeah..but then what can I run MS Office on? Can't do Apple; waaaay too
expensive.
I don't like the later versions of MS Office, but the reality is that .docx
and xlsx are now the defacto standard, and although Open Office can open
those documents, it doesn't handle formatting properly for anything more
than the simplest examples, and it won't save in those formats.
I live in a world where I'm contractually obligated to consume and produce
.docx and .xlsx files daily in order to communicate with other
organizations. If it was a different world, I'd have migrated most of our
people to Linux years ago.
If anybody in the open source world wants to really get serious about
.docx/.xlsx interoperability, I'm waiting with open arms.
I know you're kidding. :)
