", 0, 0);


LinuxWorld.com profiles HancomOffice 2.0, saying that the alpha software "loads in about 3 seconds the first time, and consumes a dainty 5 megabytes of memory. The toolbar and memory footprints are small enough that you can leave it running all day without making your machine gasp for swap every time you do something else." HancomOffice 2.0 is an in-development office suite that offers Mac OS X compatibility. The product includes a word processor, spreadsheet, graphics tool, presentation tool, database, flowcharting/diagramming tool, HTML editor, and an e-mail client.

    Moof!

    Here's a wacky idea: ClarisWorks for Linux (OK OK, AppleWorks).

    3 versions in one box (do they still make the windows version?) and a common file format. how about they drop the CW proprietary format and make everything RTFs. Make the spreadsheet multisheet and all would be good.

    So crazy it just might work.

    alternative to office

    LOL, this is much more that Appleworks every will be. This is just what we macheads need to tell M$ kiss our asses! AND it's only $45!?!?!? Man, I can't wait for this to come out, I do graphics not writing, but I'll buy one just to support the effort:)

    Moof again

    It might be more than AppleWorks will ever be, but look at the installed base of AW. IMO, an office app is nothing without an installed base or a good set of translators.

    This is the connected era. No-one makes documents just for themselves anymore. Everything gets shunted all over the world for other people to view, contribute to and print.

    Those who do make docs just for their own printing and distribution aren't the kind to rush out and buy an Office Suite of apps. They're happy with MS Works or whatever their computer came with.

    Roll on AppleWorks for LINUX!

    MOOF!

    Mac OS X?

    How does this thing work on OS X. I noticed it was packaged in RPM's -- I think (I wasn't paying that much attention). Is it written in Java or does the current preview (alpha) not suppose OS X yet?
