Preview Pre-Review King of OSS Suites adds Access-clone
By Fernando Cassia: Sunday 19 December 2004, 10:43 "What a great time for
another hairball release from Microsoft. Most places have no budget for
training or anything else, yet we are all supposed to stop and wonder in
amazement at another worthless Office release" -Reader's comment on
Microsoft's "Office System 2003".
THE SUN-SPONSORED OpenOffice.org project based on open sourced StarOffice
code has released a preview of the upcoming OpenOffice 2.0 product. This
version touts better MS-Office loading and parsing, strict XML compliant
output, a new database program that mimics Microsoft's Access, and much
more. It's available for 32-bit Windows, Linux (x86), Sun Solaris x86, and
the traditional Solaris for Sparc. We used this opportunity to take this
pre-release "version 1.9.65", which will end up being 2.0, for a quick
spin.................................... more
