Hands on with the new online version of OpenOffice.org

,----[ Quote ] 
| Still, Online OpenOffice.org certainly does have a niche it can fill. Due to 
| its desktop-cum-web nature, it easily offers the most features of any online 
| office suite. Users who are unhappy with Google Docs' K.I.S.S. approach and 
| are unwilling to pay Microsoft's hefty prices for Office might have a good 
| chance at looking past Online OpenOffice.org's shortcomings. As 
| OpenOffice.org's GUI matures—and if Ulteo's implementation keeps in step—
| Online OpenOffice.org has a good chance of evolving into a feature-rich, easy 
| to use, web-based office suite.

It's all so clear now...

| Now I think I know what the deal is with Ulteo. It's going to be a completely 
| online OS that can be run over a fast internet connection on a remote 
| computer. They don't have the entire system in place, but right now, you can 
| sign up for a free account, and (supposedly) test it. It won't seem to let me 
| try it out, but apparently, they managed to get OpenOffice working.

Sun seems to have also moved to a support-only revenue model, so it's more like
RHEL as far as OpenOffice.org is concerned (just far cheaper).

What a rush!!

| The Ulteo main web server is experiencing a big, big, rush. It’s been under 
| an heavy load for two days, and of course, page loading is sometimes slower 
| than expected… We have performed urgency tasks, such as moving static stuff 
| to other servers, but the rush is really too big.
