AbiWord: A Scalpel, Not a Chain Saw
,----[ Quote ]
| AbiWord is an open source word processing program that offers basic functions
| without getting bogged down with unnecessary features, writes Los Angeles
| Daily News columnist Steven Rosenberg. While OpenOffice offers a more
| full-featured alternative to Microsoft Office, AbiWord is slim and loads
| faster, especially on slow computers.

| Several versions of OpenOffice have been developed, the latest being
| OpenOffice 2.4. There is also a beta version of OpenOffice 3.0. Beginning
| with version 2.0, OpenOffice.org uses the open standard Oasis (Organization
| for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) OpenDocument XML
| format as the default file format.

Microsoft earnings post-mortem: The cash cows quiver
,----[ Quote ]
| I can’t help but wonder if the lackluster Windows/Office results also can be
| attributed to Microsoft brass’s complete and crazy obsession with Google (and
| taking over Yahoo) has resulted in no one minding the Windows store. Kevin
| Johnson, the head of Microsoft’s Platforms & Services division seems to be so
| laser-focused on the online-ad business these days that he almost seems to
| have forgotten Microsoft is still in the software business, too.
|
| Microsoft execs’ claims about walking away from the Yahoo deal are nothing
| more than bluster. A protracted hostile takeover bid is just going to
| distract not just employees in Microsoft’s online services business, but
| company management, too. It’s not a pretty picture.
