Will OpenOffice.org 3.0 be better?
,----[ Quote ]
| Following on from my piece on whether OpenOffice.org can do the job I have
| remembered that OpenOffice.org 3.0 is due for release in September. So—with
| my comments on 2.3 in mind—let’s see whether the new version will address my
| needs.

| First, I am not a gamer for any platform (Windows, Linux, Playstation, Wii,

The closed-source games for Linux are even better (on par with other
platforms).

Just a coincidence?
,----[ Quote ]
| According to Davide Dozza, Chairman of Associazione PLIO: "The numbers are
| exactly the same. If it's just a coincidence, it's a very strange one.
| Downloads of the Italian version of OpenOffice.org were 800.000 in 2006 and
| 1.800.000 in 2007: the difference is exactly in the million of Italians
| that - according to Microsoft - have downloaded the trial version of Office
| 2007. We think that these users have decided to switch to OpenOffice.org as
| soon as they have realized that the effort to get used to the new ribbon
| interface is higher than the effort to migrate to the open source suite. In
| 2007, the majority of information requests has been about the compatibility
| with Windows Vista, and the trend stays unchanged in 2008".
