--- Comment #11 from Edwin Sharp <[email protected]> --- (In reply to hoserjoe from comment #10) > When Rainer Bielefeld in Comment 9 concludes that "we do not have ambition > to pretend that AOO's .xls have been created with Excel", it becomes quite > apparent that OO has a "laziness" problem that will relegate OO products to > minor, insignificant status. > > It is to laugh when I read that OO can't be concerned with this issue since > I'm not able to explain why AccPac won't read OO's xls files. > > If there is anything that will diminish an application's usefulness to the > world, it's a lack of ambition. AccPac doesn't want to accommodate OO data > because OO is irrelevant in the business world. It certainly appears from > Comment 9 that OO is not the least concerned at being irrelevant. When trying to check this bug I registered to download Sage but gave up after seeing its installer size. Since then I received four emails from Sage. I don't like its aggressive marketing and therefore will be very happy if AOO files can work so no one is forced to use M$O. Following Greg King famous quote about arguing, let's just hope this will be fixed despite this Bugzilla issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
