Two new players have entered the market for productivity software, hoping to grab a sliver of business from Microsoft's dominant Office package.
Programmers released version 2 of OpenOffice.org on Thursday, a major overhaul to an open-source software suite that has recently become a more serious rival to Microsoft Office.
The fifth anniversary of the OpenOffice.org launch seemed like a good day to release version 2.0 of the open-source office software suite, but a last-minute bug forced a delay.
The commonwealth of Massachusetts has proposed a plan to phase out office productivity applications from Microsoft and other providers in favour of those based on "open" standards, including the recently approved OpenDocument standard.
Microsoft's XDocs technology was originally hailed as major threat to Adobe's PDF format. But now, Adobe is fighting back.
Adobe Systems' Acrobat Reader software has become one of those rare birds in personal computing: a de facto standard that has nothing to do with industry giant Microsoft.
The company is releasing the new version of its WordPerfect office software, but analysts say it's unlikely to make much headway against Microsoft Office.
Adobe's latest incarnation of Acrobat is top of the line, highly featured software. Just make sure you need all the bells and whistles before you pay the AU$999 price tag.
