dieseltaylor Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Good news. Open Office 3 is out today. I have downloaded my 142MB's and added lots of optional extras from the add-ons. Its great to migrate from Office'97 to a slick well-supported and FREE package. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieseltaylor Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 http://education.zdnet.com/?p=1895&tag=nl.e589 and if you want it - here http://www.openoffice.org/ and a blog comment As Paula wrote yesterday Open Office 3.0 was released yesterday. The launch was so successful the site partly crashed. All visitors can see right now is a text-based link to mirrors where the software is available, under 7 different configurations and in 14 different languages (including Kurdish). This is good news and bad news. The good news is we have more proof of the popularity of Open Office, which continues to seize market share from Microsoft Office and reduce the monopoly rents that company earns. The bad news is it will take some time, and some money, for the open source group to scale-up. I know they can speak for themselves, but it’s time that companies which benefit from OpenOffice step up to the plate. If you’re an enterprise standardizing on OpenOffice, or a company that competes fiercely with Microsoft, you have a stake in this. It’s time for you to step up and support OpenOffice. Now is the time for all good men (and women) to come to the aid of the software." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
