,----[ Quote ]
| So, should we get excited about compiling OpenJDK/HotSpot? Doesnt Sun Studio
| on Linux already compile a bunch of industrial scale applications?
| Indeed we should. Some reasons why...

| 1. What do you see as the biggest gain this trend has brought to the company?
|
| The single biggest gain is, fundamentally, adoption. Getting more and more
| people to download, explore, learn about, appreciate, and deploy Sun
| technology. And the second biggest is community contribution. Building not
| only communities of users of the technology, but more and more people who
| have looked inside the technology and now begin to contribute back. So, by
| far, it's the adoption and community contribution.

First look: OpenOffice.org 3.0 beta a big step forward
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, OpenOffice.org 3.0 beta feels like a solid evolutionary update with
| a handful of new features that will be useful to various niche user groups.
| It certainly is still a beta, however, as the suite crashed at least once on
| both Windows Vista and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard during testing. If you want to
| put a copy of your own through its paces, though, compiled versions for
| Linux, Solaris, Windows, and Mac OS X (Intel Macs only) are available now
| from OpenOffice.org's beta download site.
