[News] Sun's Potential in Open Source Storage, OpenOffice.org Rave

Can Sun Rise on Open Source Storage?

,----[ Quote ]
| At first glance, Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: JAVA) appears to be having a bit 
| of trouble: Big layoffs, a stock that is down 80 percent in the last year, 
| and constant rumors about its demise or takeover. A brief look at the overall 
| server and storage stats from IDC and Gartner doesn't provide much evidence 
| to the contrary, with Sun nowhere in the overall storage stats, and lagging 
| further behind Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) in fourth place on the server side.

Fact Vs. Friction: Picking The Right Open-Source Office Suite

,----[ Quote ]
| OxygenOffice bundles OOo with lots of extras, including a huge clip art and 
| photo library, document templates, and additional font support. Like so many 
| of the extras bundled with various OpenOffice.org variants (including Sun's 
| proprietary StarOffice suite), users can find most of this content elsewhere, 
| although it can be more convenient to get it bundled as a complete package.

CES 2009 Open-Source And Otherwise Free Doesn't Adversely Confine

,----[ Quote ]
| For writing blog posts and web articles, I instead relied on OpenOffice v3. I 
| was pretty impressed with its features and Word 2000 format compatibility 
| (especially considering the price!), though I highly recommend disabling the 
| Java runtime environment support (if you don't need it) as a means of 
| drastically reducing the application startup time. Web surfing was (as usual) 
| the domain of Firefox for OS X, which (as usual) worked well. The 
| browser-based blog publishing tool I use doesn't require ActiveX (I 
| unfortunately can't say the same thing about many of my publishing company's 
| other online utilities) so I was able to directly pull material from 
| OpenOffice into Firefox, then publish it from there.
