  • Neiby, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27*****....I haven't even started shopping!
  • reav3r, on 10/10/2007, -2/+28Its an office suite, like .. MSOffice, not just a word processor

  • kokuei, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17Duck lover? That's a new one. Or can you just not spell and missed the "i"?

    Hint - every O/S has a clock, you may have to go to upper right corner instead. Don't worry though, we love your ignorance so keep it up!
  • workharderscum, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16For at least one definition of "install", yes.
  • kokuei, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Didn't realize I slept that long... Talk about a sleep debt.
  • IHaveIssues, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15What's wrong with your Thunderbird?
  • VeganG, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14My boss questioned my installation of Open Office on one of our computers, and it paid off when a client sent us an xml file that they had created in the latest version of Excel, while we still have Office 2000.
  • stympman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Now poor college students can write their term papers and get fatter at the same time.
  • Almightymole, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11KDE 4!
  • kjk437, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Great scott! Back in time he came!
  • Protoss, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Duck lovers?
  • kjk437, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9***** double comments.
  • astrotrain, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9It may have bugs, but they are free bugs at that.... nothing like paying $300+ to Microsoft for bugs that they acknowledge but don't fix.

  • astrotrain, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9And the data is cross OS compatible...no more do you have to worry if so and so has the right version or MS Office on his machine to read your document.
  • VeganG, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7It certainly does support xml files.
  • dorianh49, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I don't ever seem to have this problem. Just curious, what browser are you using?




    Sorry, I posted twice as a joke. I only ever seem to crack MYSELF up with my "humor", though.
  • wbeavis, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Did I miss a memo on Daylight Savings?
  • adolfojp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6http://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/20040405/badger.shtml

    Yup
  • StealthTomato, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I use Firefox all the time, and have never had a duplicate; nor have I had that trouble in Opera....

    Must just be your connection, or a PEBKAC error of some kind.
  • michaelmansell, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Talk about global warming, too hot to be December.
  • dualscreenman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Ah, right. I only ever use the Word Processor and perhaps a spreadsheet once in a while. So I forgot.
  • michaelmansell, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Long live OpenOffice
    Can't wait for 3.0 Next Year...
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6what will santa bring me this year..
  • mmmiiikkkeee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3i think you can dl the binary version... and use it untill the source version compiles if you want..... i use to be a gentoo user.
  • ddfall, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Check out NeoOffice if you hadn't seen it. http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php
  • cynicist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3>> I looked through the release notes and saw nothing about Office 2007 compatiblity.

    Thats because no one can properly implement that format besides Microsoft. (and even they aren't doing it)
  • kjk437, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Firefox.

  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2the link should point to http://www.openoffice.org/index.html or http://download.openoffice.org/2.3.0/index.html if its really about the new release
    ...but the current link points to some blog that wants to feed its 4 adsense banners. buried
  • michaelmansell, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Dang, did I miss Halloween, and Thanksgiving???
  • toggo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You might have more lucky with a breezy badger...
  • Muncher, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Sounds like I've got a long, painful compile in my future. (I'm a Gentoo user.)
  • grizzlyb3ar, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4You could also spend 5 minutes googling, and therefore find the "Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats"

  • thedragon4453, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2wow, that was far more annoying than the blogspam
  • ChuqAU, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It appears VeganG's solution was just as successful, and he didn't have to spend 5 minutes googling.
  • hyperair, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Same here. Use Swiftfox (Another build of Firefox) full time, never have the problem.
