First look at Ulteo Desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| All in all, Ulteo looks promising, and it offers a few important advantages
| compared to Web-based office suites like Google Docs and Zoho. Using Ulteo,
| you can work on documents in their native formats, so you don't have to waste
| time converting them back and forth and dealing with post-conversion issues.
| Ulteo also offers familiar environments and applications which are not
| limited in any way. This means that you can use your favorite extensions with
| Firefox and OpenOffice.org as well as transfer user settings from your
| desktop applications. Add to this the ability to mount shared folders and
| servers, plus share desktop sessions with other users, and Ulteo begins to
| look like a tempting proposition.

Interview With Mandriva CEO, François Bancilhon
,----[ Quote ]
| François Bancilhon: First of all, let me clarify that we are initially only
| unifying the core components of the distribution, roughly 100 RPMs. So there
| will still be 2 different distros : Mandriva Linux and Turbolinux. But
| because they have the same base components, they will run on the same
| hardware hardware platforms and they will support the same ISVs. This is good
| for customers: a stronger, sounder distribution, more hardware and software
| compatibility; this is good for ISVs and IHVs: they need only one
| certification for the 2 distros.

| released Office Live Workspace, which lets people share Office documents on a

Hands on with the new online version of OpenOffice.org
,----[ Quote ]
| Still, Online OpenOffice.org certainly does have a niche it can fill. Due to
| its desktop-cum-web nature, it easily offers the most features of any online
| office suite. Users who are unhappy with Google Docs' K.I.S.S. approach and
| are unwilling to pay Microsoft's hefty prices for Office might have a good
| chance at looking past Online OpenOffice.org's shortcomings. As
| OpenOffice.org's GUI matures—and if Ulteo's implementation keeps in step—
| Online OpenOffice.org has a good chance of evolving into a feature-rich, easy
| to use, web-based office suite.

It's all so clear now...
,----[ Quote ]
| Now I think I know what the deal is with Ulteo. It's going to be a completely
| online OS that can be run over a fast internet connection on a remote
| computer. They don't have the entire system in place, but right now, you can
| sign up for a free account, and (supposedly) test it. It won't seem to let me
| try it out, but apparently, they managed to get OpenOffice working.

What a rush!!
,----[ Quote ]
| The Ulteo main web server is experiencing a big, big, rush. It’s been under
| an heavy load for two days, and of course, page loading is sometimes slower
| than expected… We have performed urgency tasks, such as moving static stuff
| to other servers, but the rush is really too big.
