|---|
| PetoKraus | it needs complete rewrite | Jan 25 12:29 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | except of maybe the document renderer backend | Jan 25 12:29 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | OOo lacks the complete set of features to compete with MS Office anyhow. | Jan 25 12:29 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | it depends what market you're interested to compete in | Jan 25 12:29 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | What is really needed is competition between Koffice and OpenOffice | Jan 25 12:29 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Forcing both to improve. | Jan 25 12:30 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | i'd also like gnome office to not suck | Jan 25 12:30 |
|---|
| MinceR | how are you gentlemen !! | Jan 25 12:30 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | abiword is nice, but when you can't paste gnumeric table properly, come on | Jan 25 12:30 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | OpenOffice currently wins because of its cross platform nature. | Jan 25 12:30 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | And intergration | Jan 25 12:30 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | well and biggest feature set | Jan 25 12:30 |
|---|
| MinceR | gnome office wins because it isn't so buggy and it isn't so slow :> | Jan 25 12:31 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | In feature set KOffice wins hands down. | Jan 25 12:31 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | i find the PDF-edit and PDF-export feature quite handy | Jan 25 12:31 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Just some sections of KOffice is really rough. | Jan 25 12:31 |
|---|
| MinceR | pdf-edit? | Jan 25 12:31 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | yeah | Jan 25 12:33 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | you can import PDF into OOo Draw now | Jan 25 12:33 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | with extension | Jan 25 12:33 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | http://extensions.services.openoffic... | Jan 25 12:34 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | So can Koffice about 5 years before. | Jan 25 12:34 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Feature set wise Koffice wins. | Jan 25 12:35 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Speed wise abiword and gnome office bits win. | Jan 25 12:35 |
|---|

| schestowitz | Alpha 9? | Jan 25 12:52 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I think it's beta2 nnow | Jan 25 12:52 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Maybe 3rd | Jan 25 12:52 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | There are some annoying limitations in the QT3 API. Koffice is in 5 beta | Jan 25 12:53 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | If application is using the compadiblity layour in QT4 for QT3 applications the Qt3 limitations still apply. | Jan 25 12:54 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | right | Jan 25 12:54 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | but skype uses qt3 as well | Jan 25 12:54 |

| oiaohm2 | I am supprised MS has not started offering free vista upgrade. | Jan 25 13:19 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | No postpath is not about exchange. MS step on Cisco Viop business. | Jan 25 13:20 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm2: what would existing users say (or feel)? | Jan 25 13:20 |

| schestowitz | Remember iPhone's price drop? | Jan 25 13:20 |

| schestowitz | Unifies comms relies on Nortel to an extent | Jan 25 13:21 |

| oiaohm2 | Cisco will make sure MS does not get another attempt. | Jan 25 13:21 |

| oiaohm2 | Cisco partners will not be too worried as long as Cisco keeps there good old style hardware aquirement system. | Jan 25 13:22 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Ie you make something better than US we will take ten percent proffit on it if you let us stick our label on it. | Jan 25 13:22 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Sounds like Microsoft | Jan 25 13:23 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Buying companies that make mice for some logo...... | Jan 25 13:23 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Cisco normally does not buy the company. | Jan 25 13:23 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Since the early days, most of Microsoft products were bought, not developed | Jan 25 13:24 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | You would be supprised how much Cisco gear is 3com and netgear if you can get past the labels. | Jan 25 13:24 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Cisco basically has no interest in buying the company as long as they can reband and sell the item if its high quality. | Jan 25 13:25 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Cisco is one of the rare companies that put quality first. | Jan 25 13:25 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Also Cisco does not forbid company they got the device from selling it cheeper under there own brand. | Jan 25 13:27 |
|---|
| schestowitz | What's the worth of the brand? | Jan 25 13:29 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Problem is, you see... had people had the choice to try non-Microsoft software (no bundling), they would soon be able to assess quality on a comparative basis | Jan 25 13:29 |

| PetoKraus | and is sued by FSF | Jan 25 13:30 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Cisco depends on obscurity if someone can see where they sourced the device from they can avoid paying cisco ramped up price. | Jan 25 13:31 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Cisco depends on its brand equalling quality. | Jan 25 13:31 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | How Cisco acts if MS did computer world would be way better. | Jan 25 13:32 |

|---|
| schestowitz | It uses its lackeys to flog vapourware | Jan 25 13:35 |

|---|
| oiaohm2 | Ms has not learnt that yet. | Jan 25 13:35 |
|---|
| schestowitz | There's another one from JupiterMedia now.. Adrian the MS lackey it waving Vista7 and tries to freeze moves to Linux and Macs | Jan 25 13:35 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | I don't mind that really. | Jan 25 13:36 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Sales of Vista you mean? | Jan 25 13:36 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Linux does need another 6 months to get a lot of annoying glitches out. | Jan 25 13:36 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That too is a possibility. They essentially killed Vista marketing 3 months ago | Jan 25 13:36 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Looking at RSS feeds every week, "Windows 7" is mentioned about 5 times as many as "Vista" | Jan 25 13:36 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Yep no Vista marketing ie item they can sell now. | Jan 25 13:36 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | All vaporware marketing for a Item they cannot sell now. Equals no profits. | Jan 25 13:37 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | If they want to stay a live they have to start selling Vista with free Windows 7 upgrades. | Jan 25 13:37 |
|---|
| schestowitz | This suggests that Microsoft /totally/ sold its Comcast stake.. http://blogs.barrons.com/techtraderdaily... | Jan 25 13:39 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I thought they had sold just a /portion/, no? | Jan 25 13:39 |
|---|
| schestowitz | If they market VIsta, they choke Vista7 | Jan 25 13:40 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Either way, they probably reckon that it's better to freeze (the market) than to sell | Jan 25 13:40 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Because Vista leads to disappointment anywa... | Jan 25 13:40 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | They sold all of comcast. Comcast board is not stupid. | Jan 25 13:42 |

|---|
| oiaohm2 | Ok that would work. Tri licence XP pro Vista and Windows 7 upgrade in a box. Person use what ever they like. | Jan 25 13:43 |
