I have been informed by people who have tried it, that OO and SO co-exist just fine on the same machine. I know that I have OO and Microsoft Office installed here at work, and both work perfectly.

 

I copied the OO shortcut folder into my "SendTo" list, so when I want to open a document in OO I can simply right-click and choose SendTo-OpenOffice-Writer. Very convenient for a multiple install system like this, and I don't change the MS double-click defaults.

 

Also, it installed just fine on the Win2K virus machine without being administrator. This is a feature I very much like, as I am not trusted to be the administrator of my own machine at work. Software such as Microsoft Office does not install without being administrator.

 

No such considerations on the Linux systems.

Sounds nice! A variety of selections are welcome. Can you tell me the web site? Anything more?

I'm using OpenOffice 1.0, and it's wonderful. There's nothing so far that the MS slaves at work have sent that I cannot open in OO.

 

Since it's the same basic code base as SO, I think you'll be happy. You might as well download OO 1.0 and try it, since it's free, and replace it with SO when that becomes available.

I can't wait!  I'm looking forward to StarSuite 6.0 for Linux. to use Japanese.  Is that really much better than anything others, Applixware for example?  Don't you have any opinion?
