OpenOffice is available for Windows and is - as I wrote - fully ODF-compliant. KOffice is part of the KDE application suite and all of KDE is gradually being ported to Windows. It too has ODF support. Lotus Notes - at least, the newest version - is basically a an IBM rewrite and revamp of OpenOffice - see IBM's website for details. > Other than that not bad "advocacy".

If you take them away, he'll have nothing. -- "The claim by some that ITS NEVER necessary to use the command line is pure & utter bullshit." - Hadron Quark, (again) lying about what Linux advocates have claimed. |
