Leave comments and tell me what you think.
Today, I read an article by Dana Blankenhorn posted over on Zdnet asking readers if there was room for two open source office suites. Well, I have to say the answer for me is, yes.
I use Microsoft Office daily. I use hosted exchange for push email and it works great with my Treo 700WX. Every once in a while, while creating a presentation or spreadsheet, I like a little bit of change. I switch over to OpenOffice from time-to-time and now I can utilize IBM Lotus Symphony.
I will say, it took almost an hour to download the ~200meg package from IBM and during the install I received 2 errors but, everything seems to be running fine. The program itself is a little bit slow to start and I have a pretty beefy laptop using Vista (Mac fans don’t flame me, I know you rule the world and I bow to your greatness).
Anyway, back on the topic of IBM Lotus Symphony versus OpenOffice.org. I think there is plenty of room for both in the market and I will continue to use them both. As for which is better in certain situations, stay tuned for future posts here and please leave a comment with your own findings.
I have been using Joost for the last few weeks and I have to say, it’s awesome. I love it!
Joost has music videos, network Television shows on-demand, sports, comedy shows, news, you name it.
More important than everything (for me) is that it is super easy to use. The user interface is brain-dead simple to use and very responsive. Those of us who have to suffer through the Verizon Fios guide interface can appreciate not having to wait for options to display….
Anyway, try Joost for yourself and let me know what you think.
