Perhaps this is no coincidence as every one >of Novell's 5,000 employees (even those in their legal department) uses >OpenOffice.org. For OpenSolaris users, because the printing mechanism still has a few quite serious bugs (again, my own experience), I doubt if anyone in our part of the world is using OOo for serious businesses. But, for English language users, I don't see much difference b/t Novell's version and Sun's (StarOffice and StarSuite). The biggest difference, however, is in the Chinese edition (both simplified and traditional) of OOo. The SuSE version of OOo not only works very beautifully in Chinese locales, but, thanks to the suggestion of yours truly (made a few years ago), it also includes the UIM-pinyin-big5 input method, which is practically the only way to input traditional Chinese characters without a Chinese keyboard. In comparison, the Solaris version of OOo has a "fatal" problem in displaying even some of the commonly-used Chinese characters (for example, the name of the President of China). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
