Why is KDE not an option?
Well it isn't about KDE versus JDS.
It's about MS Windows versus JDS or KDE or Icewm or whatever you can
think of.
Eventually it boils down to what the end users expect (end users are non
technical users).
For our end users this means:
1. Dutch user interface
2. Dutch applications
3. Dutch help text
4. Dutch books and documentation
5. Their business applications need to work with word processor and
spreadsheet.
The last one is often the biggest issue. Form generators pull data out
of their databases to generate a forms in MS Word.
For some branches there are several applications which use VB scripts to
generate forms in Word which do not work in Open/Star office. As a
service provider you need a lot of resources and a software developer
who wants to invest in this in order to move away form MS Windows / Office.
All these issues make it hard to really create a solid alternative to
the MS windows for now.
But hard does not mean impossible. There is some movement and I think
2007 we will be an interesting year.
