Sun and the new Office space (Arnnet) [LWN.net]

Con Zymaris discusses OpenOffice in this Arnnet opinion column. "If your client has a mixed environment of Windows, Sun or Linux workstations, OpenOffice is perhaps your best choice. Finally, as a recent Gartner report suggests, many of the firms adopting OpenOffice are best served if they analyse which of their staff have a strong business case for the continued use of Microsoft Office (perhaps 20 per cent of them) with the remainder getting OpenOffice. As the documents and templates can generally be interchanged between these staff groups and the application operation is uncannily similar in most respects, this strategy makes sense."
