Hi Wayne, I think you are a journalist...... whether Unix opened the world communications or not has no validity.
The International "Office" package is MS Office and not Unix Office... ok? I don't give a damn... I'm a business user not a geek... Right or wrong I have XP on my machine.... how you load and run Linux is a mystery.... No one has ever made it commercially viable for us dumb business users. Because of the obvious benefits of an open system like LibO with increased functionality, a great user interface and it's FREE then do not be surprised if dummies like me want to try LibO...... I think LibO is generally great..... Somewhere you have missed the critical point and want to argue who invented international comms..... Fine if Unix did I salute them.... thank you... Question why is MS Office not Unix Office? Wayne get real..... split LibO into business users and people who want to talk but do nothing... I want LibO to kick MS butt... and right now there's no chance.... Unix, word-perfect, mac..... (at the risk of pissing off all journalists in the world) that's not where it is! It's PC + MS + MS-Office..... If LibO makes a statement that us poor users of MS should play with LibO to find a better and free'er future then say so.... if I have to be Linux for LibO to work then say so... but don't give me kuk about who invented international comms.... perhaps I should have added "commerically viable" which would then exclude unix as a business contender except of course to acknowledge their role worldwide in host servers and network controllers... I just have a simple i5 laptop with XP (cos I detest Win 7) and MS-Office.... I also have OOo 3.3 and LibO 3.3.... I'm trying to break out.... your comments are not helping. I want LibO but unless someone sorts compatibility then I and (maybe) many others can't go with LibO... we don't have your luxuary of time to argue Unix versus MS..... and the benefits of Linux over windows etc. I had to pay for my operating system AND office system Sincerely timi -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
