Novell goes for the desktopNovell goes for the desktopPosted Mar 23, 2006 13:20 UTC (Thu) by Wol (guest, #4433)In reply to: Novell goes for the desktop by paulmfoster Parent article: Novell goes for the desktop
I doubt you've got that much reason to be worried. Let's take the WordPerfect example (which I think may have been owned by Novell at the time...)
They added VBA support, and said they were planning to drop PerfectScript - well PerfectScript is, I think, still in the new version of WP I bought a week or two ago. And I believe it is still preferred by most users over VBA :-)
People who need VBA will use it, people who don't need it and people who know better will avoid it. Think of it as a legacy feature - we need it for compatibility with LegacyOffice, but as soon as LegacyOffice looks like it's joining the dodo where it belongs, VBA support will die with it.
Cheers,
