OxygenOffice et al -differences?

Post by himagain »

It is always the little things in life..... and on forums :?
Like what are the topic icon meanings here?
I THINK I've got a download from Sun a version called Oxygen Office. 3.01.mo15.build 3 (Which looks like it might have updated itself obviously)
It doesn't show up here on search ( Board Managers often forget - enquirers are usually new to the facility/product and search terms ARE usually a joke unless you are very experienced). :crazy:
PLUS - Is the information really much use that is over say, a year old? It doesn't help to get an answer with 2000 hits ranging back to 1990's. :shock:
It would be nice if somewhere easy to find - say on sign-up page? - a note that there are "X" versions around with similar names AND THEY ARE: (List) :super:

It *IS* an astounding suite. An absolute testimony to the awesome power of inertia, coupled with clever FUD PR that the OTHER one still sells at all! :twisted:

I will go look further, (Google it, sigh), but the awesome complexity of, even here, seeing "support site for Open Office.org, Star Office and NeoOffice" does suggest a major promotional error here to an ol' marketing psychologist..... 3 boards would be cheap to setup and help everyone :knock:

Except in the pagan South where it is very hot: A very Merry Summer Solstice to us.

It is not possible, OxigenOffice is different source, not Sun made derivative of OOo, builded by KAMI based on go-oo (Novell) source, plus some templates and other bells and whistles.
I suggest to get the 3.1.1 version.
