[edit] Appleworks Platform Listing
It should be noted at Appleworks for Windows is only available through educational markets, and not useable by the general public.
And what about Applixware Office?
[edit] Format compatibilites
Does anyone think mabe we should list which suites are compatible with OpenDocument and Microsoft Office file formats?
- Well, I've added a link to List of applications supporting OpenDocument. Barefootguru 18:49, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
I think that rather then having open document capability as part of the general section there should be a section listing outlining which office suites are compatible with the various different document formats out there. Also I think the current general matrix is a bit misleading because it seems to be focused on open source things but not on the features provided by some of the proprietary platforms. ----205.250.137.56 19:28, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Personally, I think it's ridiculous that we list support for Opendocument but not Office file support. Many more people care about the latter
[edit] Google
Should we add a section on Google Docs and Spreadsheets? I mean I think it is pretty obvious that google wants to provide a fully "online" office suite that will eventually compete with other office suites including Microsoft Office.
[edit] Gnome office
I was surprised to see Evolution, GIMP, Inkscape, DIA and Planer in GO. There are only 3 components in Gnome office : Abiword, Gnumeric and Mergeant. See : http://www.gnome.org/gnome-office/ In an other And, Kontact is said not to be part of Koffice ...... ( and that's true, Neither is Outlook an MS office component).
[edit] Main Components Section
Visio and Project are listed as components of the MS Office suite. To my knowledge they are not nor ever have been a main component of the Office suite. They are separate applications that are classified as part of the Office system, but not what I would consider 'main components' because they are not available in any of the suite options. I think the inclusion of them in the matrix is a little misleading.
I also agree with the above comment about creating a separate matrix for file compatability.
