It costs a lot of money to have something that is hated by many - the Ribbon. And there is no way of getting rid of it in Microsoft Office without spending even more money on a third-party product. Of course, if you don't like LibreOffice, and don't want to spend money on the Microsoft's product, you could always try Kingsoft. They offer you a sort of cut-down Word (eg no macros), but allow you to choose the old menu system or the Ribbon at the click of a button. -- Jeff |

True, but since then Oracle has given OO to the Apache foundation. I guess it was too late for the product. LibreOffice won. Is that so?

I thought Libre Office was just for Linux. http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ Operating Systems LibreOffice 4.4 is available for the following operating systems/architectures: Linux x64 (deb) Linux x64 (rpm) Linux x86 (deb) Linux x86 (rpm) Mac OS X (x86_64 10.8 or newer required) Windows http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice. The devs that left OpenOffice didn't like the enterprise direction of that product and created their own fork of the product called LibreOffice (perhaps as a gibe to denote "liberate [open]office"). Then Orace dumple OpenOffice on the Apache Software Foundation. OO didn't fit in with their business goals and they didn't want to support it anymore. I think it almost a year before ASF decided the product was worth supporting and then finally came out of "incubation" status with an update. It was Apache who officially decided whether or not OpenOffice would continue. As I recall, IBM is still the major developer deciding where OpenOffice will go, like replacing its Lotus Symphony product. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOf...-oo_and_Oracle Because of what Oracle did to OpenOffice, I have to wonder how long Java will survive their further business decisions on another product that generates them no revenue. Both OpenOffice and Java were products that Oracle snagged in their acquisition of Sun. One down. How long for the other to go the same way? Wonder if ASF really wants to bother supporting Java, too? |
