A few interesting bits of news I have found:

  • Kingsoft is "attacking" Microsoft by offering a low-cost-cheap office software for both Linux and Windows in Chinese. Its target is to compete with the "pirated" versions of Microsoft Office that you find in China for $2... And who said illegally copied software were harming companies like Microsoft?
  • Mark R Hinkle likes AbiWord. Mark R Hinkle is vice-president and CIO of Win4Lin and LinuxWorld Magazine Editor in Chief.
  • Dave Coursey give his strongly biased opinion about the commonwealth of Massachussets going with OpenDocument. I'm far from agreeing with all the content of this article. For him it is people who should adapt to Microsoft goodwill (remember they were the one that pulled the documentation off the web because people where using it to compete) and the the other way. For me the decision is a good thing.
