  1. Comment - Office 2007 Gets 'Ultimate' Edition

    (May 27, 2006 - 10:39 PM)

    ok that price is super nuts! I use office .x on my mac and it works great, but if they think i will upgrade for that price they have lost their mind.

    Actually im in the process of switching over to IBM's Lotus SmartSuite in my workstation and im very happy with it. At microsofts prices i think ill just use Lotus for everything when my office .x becomes outdated and nonfunctional.

    By the way IBM Lotus SmartSuite goes for 281USD and if a full suite and it comes with 12 months of maintance and telli-support, heck the people on the other end of the phone are from the good ole USA to boot!

    Open office is great and all but it is really slugish comapared to Lotus. Also on the business end if it stops working right its nice to know there is an IBM support team a call away. I just miss the days that i could call IBM for my computer problems as well as software...man Lenovo stinks!

  2. Comment - Microsoft Unveils JPEG Alternative

    (May 27, 2006 - 7:41 PM)

    Wow! that was alot of reading to catch up on! So i think I counted atleast a dozen different formats listed besides the new one from MS in the course of reading all of the posts (i also know of a few that were not listed). Now im not a blood and guts software tech guy, but after realizing the number of options out there i thought my head would spin off! And that is what will happen to consumers when this gets released to them. In the face of all of these formats and the introduction of a new one do you know what the average consumer will do? stick with what they know, JPEG. It like a big sercurity blanket that consumers have had for years, whether its the best or not is irrellivant. Just look how long it took to kill the 3.5 floppy for petes sake! Heck some computers are still are produced with them even in the face of larger HDD, email, and flash drives. People stick with what they know works and will upgrade only when they have no choice. With that i think this new format will be in the waste bin in no time.
