About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Tuesday, January 10, 2006Problems with OpenOfficeInfoWorld:Before you start flaming, please understand that both I and the author of the news article are open source PROponents. We like open source. I've made a career of it.While I do feel that OpenOffice.org is a bloated mess in some ways, it's surprsingly capable. What the author is refering to by "stinks" is that it still doesn't offer a compelling alternative to Microsoft Office, which is only half true. But anyone who's seen Office 12 can tell you that Microsoft has suddenly and unexpectedly raised the bar a mile high. Office 12 is awesome. And thus, OpenOffice.org may or may not "stink," but it certainly has a long, long way to go. I'd rather see smaller, lighter individual applications like Abiword take off at this point, I guess.
