I don't think they paid for the xp. They stole it like everyone else.
I'm not
that concerned that microsoft gets ripped off in this way. No one I
know has
a licence for the pro version. They bought a new box with home
edition and
magically it's pro without spending a euro after 'a mate of mine'
popped in
with a dvd. The same with office. Whatever that means. I don't think
it's
possible to steal opensuse is it? That's why I'm trying to make the
outfit
legally comfortable. Throwing openoffice at office users is just not
possible. They simply cannot change. File>save as isn't in the same
place for
a start. How can you use a system where File>save as isn't in the
same place?
I mean it's just not possible is it. And as for word count. Just
forget it.
In openoffice you just can't do it. it's impossible to do a word
count in
open office. You have to click three times for gad sake. All they do
it type
and use outlook express. Getting wine to run office represents
another
weekend's work for me. But even then I need a licence to use it.
But thanks for the encouragement. I think at last I'm being
understood. Fancy
a beer anyone?
I'm not an office user per se, but I did a little checking and with OOo
you can customize the menus. With just a smidgen of effort you could
give those old fuddy-duddies an "Office look-and-feel" in the menus. As
customizable as everything else in the Linux World is I was pretty sure
it could be done.
I'm not much for beer, but a nice Bacardi Superior, or better yet a
Bacardi Anejo, and Coke would be nice. Even a nice glass of wine, vin
ordinaire not some of that hoity-toity stuff that tastes like lighter
fluid, would be good.
