Google throws bodies at OpenOffice | |
|
||
| Time: 10:13 EST/15:13 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

Google plans to hire programmers to improve OpenOffice.org, a demonstration of its affinity for open source initiatives and one the company believes also shows sound practical sense. OpenOffice has its roots in Sun Microsystems' StarOffice suite of programs. Five years ago, Sun turned its proprietary software into an open-source project. Only recently, however, has the competitor to Microsoft's Office attracted serious attention. | ||

This is a Google PR piece meant to stave off the growing criticism that Google is benefitting by the billion$ from open sore software, but contributing little to it.
Boy! I am convinced that is not the case, now . . . Go Google! lol |

#3 With "performance" like that exhibited in OO 2.0, all I can say is: Go Masstaxes! Oh, and Munich, too!
Doh! lol |

I'm not so sure this is a good thing...
Adwords scattered thruout your documents? This won't be pretty... TL |

Ok, now that I said that, I think it's also fair to give credit where credit is due.
Google's free Picassa photo manager is the best photomanager, short of iPhoto, money can't buy. It is, in a way, very reminiscent of iPhoto. Maybe that's why I like it so much. And google does do it without annoying me with ads. TL |
