Hi, Well, most of what I've seen today in the media was a rehash of TDF PR, till I found the first real review - PC World, Business Center blog[1]..not exactly what one would of hoped for:
"And this perhaps best characterizes the experience: LibreOffice is a reliable old jalopy. It has its quirks but it's reliable for getting basic and even some sophisticated things done. For those who understand its limitations, it's an utter bargain at zero dollars, just like OpenOffice.org was. However, those hoping that the new management at LibreOffice might inject some life into the project are in for a disappointment. There's no sign of that here. It's the same old OpenOffice.org, except with a handful of improvements and a new name. The biggest disappointment is the lack of any cloud tie-in. How a major new release of any office software can lack this is a mystery. The rather pompous manifesto of the Document Foundation, the organization behind LibreOffice, makes absolutely no mention of the cloud. For this reason alone I can't recommend LibreOffice for business use over a product like Google Docs, which, while an order of magnitude less sophisticated, includes collaboration options that really can make a difference for smart businesses." I was going to post a comment to the site about the googleDocs extension and then remembered that this is not listed on 'our' (FSF) vetting page...it is banned to the non-free page..oh well. //drew [1] http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/217679/libreoffice_33_handson_with_the_free_office_suite.html -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/us/marketing/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
