Comments on: OpenOffice.org 2.0 Is Here http://www.forevergeek.com/2005/10/openofficeorg_20_is_here/ Nerds are for Dorks Thu, 18 Mar 2010 07:55:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Solveig Haugland http://www.forevergeek.com/2005/10/openofficeorg_20_is_here/comment-page-1/#comment-21733 Solveig Haugland Mon, 24 Oct 2005 17:20:40 +0000 http://forevergeek.com/?p=2252#comment-21733 I wanted to mention, for anyone who's less into the XML/Oasis/OpenDocument scene and more into just using it, that the thing you might like most about OpenOffice.org is that the new interface is just a lot easier. Getting to the different icons for various features is much simpler, so it's a lot easier to figure out where things are and how to do what you need to if you're new to the program. (Experienced users--the Big Blue Triangle is gone and the specialized toolsets can be anchored as you need them.) Also, anyone who was frustrated before by Impress is going to have a much easier time. Impress looks a lot more like Powerpoint, has far more effects, and generally is a lot more logical.

Those smart people." It's not so much that they're smart, but rather, that it's natural for them. The developing community represent a chunk of the demographic that use bittorrent. “They even have it released on Bit Torrent. Those smart people.”
