A recent survey I saw somewhere online suggested that many people perceive web 2.0 as yet another marketing ploy.
Now, me, being one of the kings of anti-hype, would disagree. For one thing, no one company above another is pushing Web 2.0.
I suppose Google are to the front in some ways, but there are many Web [...] ... Continue reading »

People in general have been conditioned to thinking that you must have Microsoft Offfice installed to open a MS word file. Most are unaware that Word can save any file as a PDF. which would make their work aviliable to most OS's.
How daft can you get?

You do NOT need Micorsoft Office to open a word file. You can download the excellent open source and free OpenOffice.
It will read AND write word files, and also WordPerfect ones too (some folks still have word perfect).
It also reads/writes Excel spreadsheets, and Powerpoint files, and MS-Access Databases too.
It also has its own native OD (open Document ) format for these files, and they are considerably smaller if using the files locally or with someone else with open office, No need to use Word format then.
I use both Windows and Linux machines here, and the cross platform capability is useful, and as OpenOffice, along with Firefox and Thunderbird, run on Linux machines as well as Windows ones, I dont' need to learn another program when switching machines.
Linux flavor here? Ubuntu with Gnome desktop.

I have always held off as unless I knew exactly what it was (it could have been anything, spyware etc.) but I will still avoid like the plague. Kubuntu is looking very attractive at the moment.
Last year I installed Open Office for a girl friend who had been weaned on Microsoft stuff. I just recently at her bequest removed it from her machine as she found the interface "different".
Some people just cant be bothered to learn anything different, so stuck in their ways. Microsoft? Resistance is futile - you will be assimilated.....

Microsoft products are necessarily all bad, but they're often not the best, yet it's all a lot of people know.
I used to use MS office and Outlook myself, and when it came to paying out for yet another upgrade, I took a long hard look at OpenOffice/Thunderbird, and although I was a little unsure at first, it's grown on me, and I have no need at all to go back to the bloated, overpriced Microsoft offerings.
I always compare Microsoft to McDonalds. Mediocre product; brilliant marketing. Again why search out a McDonalds when the burgers are smoe ofthe blandest, soggiest God-awful specimens on earth - literally.
