"Novell says that LibreOffice with Novell Services consists of the six applications that make up the suite – "word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, database, mathematical and drawing capabilities" – offers seamless interoperability with Microsoft Office, and, in comparison to other productivity suites, can offer a cost reduction of 50 to 60 per cent over a three year period."

"The criticisms made in the video are not really the point - they are mostly about OpenOffice.org not being a 100% clone of Microsoft Office, and compatibility problems with Microsoft's proprietary formats. The key issue is the exactly the same as it was for the Mindcraft benchmarks. You don't compare a rival's product with your own if it is not comparable. And you don't make this kind of attack video unless you are really, really worried about the growing success of a competitor.

Just as it did in 1999 for GNU/Linux, Apache and Samba, the company has now clearly announced that OpenOffice.org is a serious rival to Microsoft Office, and should be seriously considered by anyone using the latter."

"The firm also believes national pride may have its hand in determining a country's office suite of choice. It noted that strong adoption of OpenOffice in Germany could partially be a result of its origins in StarOffice code, originally developed by the Germany company StarDivision. Meanwhile, Canada has the largest WordPerfect market share (4 per cent) perhaps thanks to Corel Corporation's Ontario heritage."

"Google's cloud office suite, Docs, is slowly picking up adopters. Targeted at those who don't need all the bells and whistles of Microsoft Office, the tools have been getting more and more attention especially with the growing use of Google Apps which comes with Docs bundled. Now, Docs has scored a major victory by becoming the default office suite in the upcoming Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.4 Lucid Lynx."

The performance of the Calc spreadsheet program has been notably improved, as has rendering of on-screen objects in the Impress presentation app. The Write word processor offers new collaboration functionality."

"There are a couple of ways, I think, to help people break up the glacier of skepticism preventing them from using open source that much more vigorously. The first is to create as many circumstances as possible where the software can be used and also abandoned without regret. No-install editions, software appliances, VMs, install-and-go-stacks, that sort of thing. A lot of this already is being done, but there always is room for more and better versions of the same, and for more automation for both the use of the product and the data it generates and manipulates."

"Bit by bit, the Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) monopoly on office productivity applications is receding -- and one of the most important ways this is happening is through the proliferation of open source productivity suites. The most obvious example is OpenOffice.org, now in a landmark third release, but they're also not the only ones in town anymore."

"OpenOffice.org issued a beta of its flagship suite five months ago , but Monday's release marked the first final code from the open-source project that doesn't require Mac users to install X11, a Unix windowing environment. The new OpenOffice.org 3.0 runs only on Intel -based Macs; systems powered by the older PowerPC processors can download and run an older 2.x edition that requires X11."

"The driving force for this migration seems to be cost of proprietary software and the fear of unlicensed software. OpenOffice.org is the obvious solution to these two pressing problems (thanks, BSA!) What is good is that they have chosen ODF by default, and they are not changing the file format to the binary proprietary ones."

"The Polish Ministry of National Education is advising schools and universities to use Open Source software. The recommendation comes at the end of a volunteer campaign to help schools switch to Open Source. The Ministry recommended in a statement that schools and universities use OpenOffice. The application suite is sufficiently mature and advanced to be used for teaching and for office use in education and science institutes. "OpenOffice can successfully substitute proprietary applications and will result in significant savings on licenses.""

"Q: What do you see for the OOo and ODF community in the years to come? <b>Louis :</b> Glory. I mean it. What is the future, I could ask, of Firefox? Will IE7 kill it? No. People appreciate freedom and what it brings, for it brings innovation and the possibility of it. And it brings, implicitly, community—by which I mean a coming together of interests that are not only generated by and dependent upon marketing agendas."
