OpenOffice.org 2.0 Released
Openoffice.org version2.0 is released.
Read the interview with the marketing manager (yeah, many open source projects are run professionally) of OOO - Louis Suarez-Potts for insights into where OOO came from and where it is going.
A choice quote from Louis Suarez-portts' interview
It seems to me that this is the way history will go: As OpenOffice.org becomes more widely adopted by governments wanting the ODF plus the functionality and flexibility of OpenOffice.org, and those who do business with them, managers will wonder, +“Why should we buy Microsoft Office? It's old. It's got problems. It's a security risk. Nothing new is happening there. Let's use OpenOffice.org, At that point, and I think it will come sooner than later, history will have been written using OpenOffice.org.
Amen!
With many goverments,putting thier clout behind OOO and state of Massachsetts adopting the OpenDocument format as the standard for all official business, we will see more and people and business using OpenOffice.org.
Will the Indian business and government (Especially the government of Karnataka) wake up and look at Open and Free(free as in freedom) alternatives?
+ Emphasis mine.
