OpenOffice.org Beta Fails the Office 2007 Test

I'm not embarrassed to admit it: I'm a big fan of Office 2007. I think Microsoft got a lot right with its latest release, starting with the ribbon interface and including any number of tweaks and improvements that make my day easier.

That's why I always try to keep my eye on the current state of OpenOffice.org, the open source office suite founded by Sun.

It is a system which works pretty well. One little problem remains, though: rebooting the system is a pain.

Response team boosts open-source security

IT managers often assume that open source software is more secure than proprietary commercial software. Anyone who uses open source can examine the original code to spot any lurking vulnerabilities, and potentially even fix the vulnerabilities themselves. With proprietary software, you have to trust the vendor to do it all for you.

Google puts open-source project back up
