Yay :woowoo: (although not entirely unexpected)Quote:
but the people behind OpenOffice.org have decided they don't want to work under the direction of Oracle and are going it alone
Any chance that the next version will run a bit quicker then? :)
I hope they let them have the name, would be a shame for them h=to have to reinvent themselves as Open Office is almost a brand name...
I guess it was fairly predictable after the OpenSolaris business... Oracle seem to have total contempt for anything they can't directly monetise (wonder where it leaves VirtualBox, MySQL etc).
I do hope they can retain the title OpenOffice (preferably dropping the silly ".org" suffix) - LibreOffice doesn't exactly trip elegantly off the tongue, and besides, it sounds French. :shocked2:
