Right now that's not the case, for example each time I send an Impress file to
an MS PP user
and it blows up it further demonstrates the gulf that currently exists between
open and closed
systems.
MS PP can install Lib0... Lib0 users can't install MS PP without a valid
license
Much as though I detest the latest edition of powerpoint and it's anal GUI, I
have no choice
but to use it.... I can't afford the time to write in Impress and then spend a
day trying to make
it work in PP.
use Lib0 directly (if possible, see previous point)
If you really want to hurt Uncle Bob then LibO must get it's act to together
asap and ensure
all LibO office apps are compatible to the extent that it allows trouble free
document
exchange between the open and closed systems.
Closed application can change file format or application interfaces at
every release... it's better that MS users begin to use free software
also on Windows system. Yes, it's possible ;-)
That way the MS user brigade will get confidence and hopefully may switch
over... but until
that day then Uncle Bob will rule the roost.
Migration is possible only if planned and desired... this is not only a
technical problem
Maybe someone can answer this?.... when will a LibO developer(s) focus on
compatibility
between MS and LibO.... and realise the way to sink MS is to prove reliability
and
compatibility in LibO.
This is only one goal... not the mission of Lib0.
Cheers
Stefano
