M$ O was is and always going to be bugyer because of simple hardly comprehensible popularity and I'd say 95% of updates is hole patching as ever B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted November 16, 2010 Administrator Share Posted November 16, 2010 Anyone of you guys tried LibreOffice? It has an interesting story. I'm quite surprised that OpenOffice is still updating after what happened.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted November 16, 2010 Administrator Share Posted November 16, 2010 This would the 3rd time I would be saying this. :lol:The developers didn't like the way Oracle treated them so almost all the OpenOffice developers have left it and joined a new project called LibreOffice. They also took it's source code with them. The development of OpenOffice's code will continue on LibreOffice. They have also asked Oracle to kindly donate the OpenOffice license to the Document Foundation Organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atasas Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 So far (LibreO) looks OK'ish, very ;little difference to OO, apart from install package being 318MB and installing taking almost 15min....did not chash as yet, but in case it will- OO will be replacement ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jota.Ce Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I'm glad LibreOffice will drop any Java crap dependency, but these people should realize we need fast and light applications.I use OO.o, but it takes a lot of time to open, to load a document, to auto save, to save, to save to PDF,... it's sometimes VERY annoying.IMO-PS: Security holes may be very important, but the most annoying things for end user are not security-related, but usability-related, and many linuxheadz won't ever take that.IMO-PS2: I also hate modern Office versions, don't think i'm a M$$ fanboy.IMO-PS3: Multiplatform projects generally suxxx badly. Write once, run [buggy and unoptimized] everywhere xDDDDDDDEdit: You have to know there are derivatives like Go-OO (it's suposed to be a bit faster), OOo4Kids (with different GUI style for each profile of user), and OOoLight (it's suposed to be lighter).

Atasas Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 @ Jota.CeIn direct comparison used extremely big database of M$ Excel file results where:OO- slow load time- fast processing of data input M$ O 2003- OK'ish load time, but processing data- forever and sometimes crashM$ O 2007- slow load time, slow processing time, even froze few times, but goes throughGo O- OK'ish load time, but sometimes kicking out errors in processing or even loading dataLibre O- fast load- errors straight of, no point in even trying to fix database or input any- phailed! (very big and complicated multi-interactive formulas and parameters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jota.Ce Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I have to say i'm referring to word processing only, it's the most used program in each suite.I've used Excel, PPoint and Access (and programmed some forms) and almost never got a fail. The most annoying things i've seen are related to word processing and slugginess or disturbance or heavy lack of usability some times.Example of a heavy lack:OO.o 3.x (not 3.3) future roadmap features:- Possibility to rotate images in Writer :wtf: (it should be available on v1.0)Personally, i'd like to have a MSO2003 substitute for the future (you can't stick to a product eternally), but i haven't found it yet. Only promising future, but not real facts.I have a question for you guys: How about WordPerfect (it was great in Win3.11)? Abiword? And another free suites?
