The latest and full featured version of OpenOffice.org3.0 is now available through
Ulteo.com
using a web browser with only a single click of a mouse. No download or installation process of the productivity suite is required. This new service
by Ulteo offers many benefits for users of the productivity suite, and is compatible with any operating system that can run Firefox 2.0+ or
InternetExplorer6.0+.
Making OpenOffice.org3.0 available through a browser should also help accelerate its adoption by an even broader
userbase. Users can introduce OpenOffice.org3.0 to others via email, invite them to discover OpenOffice.org with just one click, and can give a
personal tour of the program in real time. Invitations are sent via email and allow access in either read only or full edit mode, simply by clicking
on a link in the email. Using Ulteo’s service, users can exploit features of OpenOffice.org which may be missing from their current desktop
software. Forexample, OpenOffice.org canread and write MicrosoftOffice files, and generate .pdf format files without requiring any additional
software. OpenOffice.org also reads and writes documents in Open Document Format, the ISO approved standard for office
documents, which can only
be read in Microsoft Office after installing a plug-in.

30.08.2005Sun will Support OpenOffice.org
Sun Microsystems on Monday plans to announce that it will provide support for the OpenOffice.org productivity software suite, citing a wave of
momentum behind the open-source project. The support, which starts at US$20 per user per year, will be offered to companies that distribute
OpenOffice.org, not directly to end-users, according to Mark Herring, senior director of marketing for StarOffice/OpenOffice.org and Network.com.
"For a lot of distributors, they wanted to distribute OpenOffice.org and had no option for back-line support," he said. OpenOffice.org and
StarOffice, Sun's accompanying commercial product, are compatible with Microsoft Office and identical in terms of capabilities, which include word
processing, spreadsheets and presentation software. But until now, Sun only supported StarOffice.

08.05.2008Microsoft Office XML gets fast-tracked to ISO standard
The International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) has
announced that it is putting
Microsoft's Open XML format
(the file format used for
Office 2007) on a five-month
schedule to become a full ISO
standard as early as this
August. An e-mail by Lisa
Rajchel, the secretariat of
ISO's Joint Technical
Committee, confirmed this
decision. The proposal still
has to be put to a ballot and
distributed to all 157 member
countries in the ISO, which is
likely to happen sometime this
week. The move would put
Microsoft's format on par
with OpenDocument (created
from the existing XML-based
file formats of Open
Office.org), which received
ISO's blessing last May.
Some industry
observers have pointed out
that having two separate XML
document standards for office
suites could potentially be
confusing. Some member
countries of the ISO have
proposed "harmonizing" ODF
and Open XML to make them more
interoperable, although this
would involve lengthy and
complicated changes to both
formats. Other criticisms of
Open XML include the
complexity of the format, as
it is a more complex format
than OpenDocument, but it has
to be because it is required
to support every feature that
exists in Microsoft Office,
many of which have no analog
in OpenOffice. A spokesperson
for the Ecma addressed the
criticism that having two
document standards (ODF and
Open XML) was potentially
confusing: " Ecma does not
see a problem to have several,
competing format standards in
ISO/IEC, such as PDF and the
standards for the disjoint.
Ecma is, of course, very
interested to learn the views
of the National Bodies in JTC
1 and ISO/IEC about this
subject ."
