Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y "With the release of StarOffice 8 and OpenOffice.org, and the rumors about MS Office 12, office suites are making their rounds in the press again. Microsoft's office suite is certainly the most popular on Windows, but there are competing suites from Corel and IBM. On GNU/Linux we have KOffice, GNOME Office, OpenOffice.org, StarOffice, and more. But no matter if they are free or proprietary, expensive or cheap, and regardless of what platforms they run on, the one thing that all software suites have in common is that they suck."

What GNOME Office ?

GNOME Office ? What GNOME Office ? There is no GNOME specific Office suite. Just a few Applications like Gnumeric and Abiword (which last named is not GNOME centric at all).

True, but the combination of Gnumeric and Abiword is none-the-less still called Gnome Office (don't ask me why, but that's the way it is).
