OpenOffice.Org thoughts and things
The planet is very quite at the moment and I’m afraid I will not get any usable information and slides about the talks given at this years akademy before Monday or even the end of the coming week. Poor me. But anyway, there is other software worth writing as well: OpenOffice.org.
As a previous explanation: I do not really like OpenOffice.org. Despite the fact that it technically introduced the Open Document Format to the masses there are not too many good things I could leave on it. Ok, that’s probably a bit too hard: Sure, OpenOffice.org is the only competitor for MSOffice at the moment, and it delivers what most people expect. It also seem to be good enough so that quite a lot of people are backing it.
But: from my point of view OpenOffice.org is more bloated as the most other pieces of software around, and there are too many ways where you can just not compare it to MSOffice - like the start up time. The same is true on the Linux platform, btw., where you could compare it to KOffice - which starts up much, much faster. Also the desktop integration is less than perfect - on Windows as on Linux. Again you can not really call it a competitor in this field.
