The Office Software market is ripe for takeover? Jeeeeeeez, where do you get this?
from the people who use ms office everyday. They think its how computers are supposed to work so they would rather carry a pen and paper with them and use the computer only for certain stuff like email. for them a computer is just a glorified harder to use all in one device. they dont harness the power of the computer to make them more productive at all. document search for them is just the electronic equivalent of looking through "folders" one by one. they take notes using the pen and paper and they would rather do calculations in calculators. they are scared of being able to delete stuff accidentally and they are scared of disappearing windows and documents that may aor may not print when opened in "another" office. i tell you there is a lot of stuff the "people in the street" need that is not being addressed. they all use ms office at work and they are all ready to switch once a better system is available. ms office clone... not -- things i hate about my linux pc: 1. it takes more than a second to boot up 2. keeps asking about filenames and directories 3. does not remember what i was working on yesterday 4. does not remember all the changes i have ever made 5.cannot figure out necessary settings by itself _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
