Linux - SoftMaker stuff Question

Post by jimjutte »

I noticed a while back that SoftMaker Office is also on Linux. Are there any preferred flavours? Are Windows and Linux products aligned with each other? The obvious answer would be yes, but I don't want to assume. Are they also aligned with respect to feature releases? I noticed in some areas it says Linux and Windows only for example.

I'm thinking of making one of my computers a Linux machine to play with it again. It's been a while. Part of the reason I hadn't done this was having the time to play with Linux to learn about it.

Thanks.
Cheers
Jim

Most of the features are available for both platforms, however features like OLE objects are available for Windows only (due to lack of support by the Linux operating system).

When are you going to release Pocket PC version? I would also expect you to support the new Google Android operating system in future. It will dominate the market in 2008.

Currently we are working on the Pocket PC version. As soon as the Pocket PC version is ready, we will start porting to Linux. However, there is no fixed release date yet.

It is weird that you keep repeating the same answers. When exactly?
