Hi All,
Ran across another article:
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1933229,00.asp?kc=ewnws030206dtx1k599
This one is about the challenges firms/users will face in deciding whether
to
upgrade to Office 2007, switch to an alternative, or do nothing. The focus
is on the issues of file compatability and the new user interface that
Office
2007 will introduce.
Thansk for the link - it's a good article. I did a piece in my blog
http://jpmcc.blogdns.org/index.php/2006/03/02/your-office-or-mine/ about
this. Microsoft are not infallible - we should look forward to the
challenge.
From what I've seen of the early MS marketing, they seem to be stressing
very strongly the number of templates, wizards, etc that they will be
supplying. This will enable them to claim that you don't need to know
MS-O2007 to produce professional results. They also know it's an area
where OOo is weak.
Fortunately, it's one area where our userbase could help by contributing
masses of templates. They would need to be QA'd and possibly translated
(there's nothing worse than a template which superficially looks ok but
which completely ignores stylesheets etc :-)
What do folks think?
Maybe start a donate a template campaign?
