So how does development happen? There seem to be two bug lists, and as I've demonstrated, they give different results on the same data (yuk).
MS win by persuading industry (who are by far the dominant buyers - we single users are very much a minority and ignored by MS) that intercommunicability is a major issue - which it is. I'm old enough to remember when there were half a dozen different word processing programs, and exchanging data with a colleague in a different company was a major issue. So instead of the industry settling on a single document format, MS jumped into the breach with a very indifferent WP progam called "Word". Far inferior to Word Perfect, but it sold on the back of the OS (DOS in those days). One has to admire Gates for his commercial and marketing acumen, however much one dislikes his philosophy and the products. ----- Peter -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Problems-importing-an-OO-database-into-LO-tp3890826p3911797.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
