Hi Chad,
Hello.
I can see why you would suggest that argument, but the issue I have
with that is that the original StarOffice which was released was very
different to the OpenOffice.org that is in use now. Before you make
the comment that is was based on the late 1990's, the case study
talks about converting to MS Office in 2005, not in 1990's, which is
their comparison. As you say, they may simply group them together,
but I would say that OpenOffice.org in 2005 was very different to
StarOffice 5.2 as a product.
Yes - and MSO 2003 is different than MSO 98. But whenever you do a
case
study - that case study is stuck in time. You can't always predict
future
behavior or results on past performance - unfortunately, that's all
we mere
mortals got to work with. In a lot of ways, I wish OOo was more
like the
old StarOffice - with the browser, the email client, and all that
other
stuff they got rid of.
Oh yuck! With no choice in what we get to use for these functions and
extra software to try and manage when changes are made to the other
areas of the project? I am one of those who are glad we dropped those
parts.
Regards
Jonathon
