------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Nov 6 11:04:31 -0800 2005 ------- Did you read what newsforge wrote? "With each new office suite and word processor release we become more concerned that software companies like Sun Microsystems, Corel, and even community projects like OpenOffice.org are more interested in competing with Microsoft Office than they are in developing excellent software. The new features and enhancements in each release are all about doing what Word does or mimicking Excel. Why not just worry about adding features and improvements that users want, rather than play catch-up with Microsoft? StarOffice 8 leaves us with that catch-up feeling. It is a good office suite -- better than Microsoft Office for the money, and better technically in many ways -- but it's trying too hard to be like the market leader. We'd rather see an intelligently designed office suite with a fresh approach than one that can do everything that Microsoft Office can." http://software.newsforge.com/software/05/09/23/198225.shtml I wholeheartedly agree. The concern expressed in above quote is exactly my criticsm of OOo. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
