Earth to Corel: open your Office, or give it up
,----[ Quote ]
| In a nutshell, StarOffice and OpenOffice.org give users freedom. Both run on
| almost every modern popular OS the user might choose to run. Corel's
| Wordperfect Office? "Windows!", "as expensive as Microsoft's Office", "no
| freedom, same kind of vendor lock-in, only with a different owner at the end
| of the dog collar".
|
| In short: Wordperfect Office has a niche, and will continue to have one. It
| won't get very far into the 21st century if Corel doesn't open its code. They
| could sell support and an enhanced version, just like Sun does with
| StarOffice - and it embraces mutiple operating systems - as the OS is
| increasingly irrelevant, as Linux-based tablets and Ubuntu pre-loaded Dell
| machines show.
