Microsoft's star Ubuntu8.04 version is coming to the fore

Article Title: Microsoft's star Ubuntu8.04 is coming to the fore. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

The Ubuntu April 24 release will be available soon on September 10, 8.04. For Microsoft, where is its "lethal? Is it the latest Linux kernel version 2.6.24? To be honest, no matter how advanced the Linux kernel is, it cannot beat Microsoft's Windows family. At present, the market share of Linux is only 2%, which is negligible to some extent. However, Ubuntu and later versions contain OpenOffice.org, the latest version of 2.4.0, which is released in, it can also run well on Windows XP and Vista platforms. Since the beginning of this year, SUN has upgraded its Office suite's "license" to LGPL 3.0, which is indeed amazing. As you know, LGPL 3.0 is an integral part of GPL 3.0. Therefore, OpenOffice.org (especially version 2.4.0) becomes a free software package for underground channels. Now, this guy went into the Windows user group. Microsoft also "has no temper" (meaning "helpless ). According to Standish's latest research ("Trends of Open Source"), Microsoft must pay the price for this guy. Let's make it clear that one more OpenOffice.org (especially version 2.4.0) user in the world must be fewer than one Microsoft Office user.

Whether it is Microsoft's "nemesis" depends on whether the new version OpenOffice.org 2.4.0 is truly "rival" Microsoft's Office. in the past, people thought that OpenOffice.org was too simple (the so-called "mickey mouse") compared with Microsoft Office, because IT giants such as Google and IBM are directly involved in its development process (for example, hiring full-time staff for development), its performance is rapidly improved, upgrade once every three months (only once in the past 18 months ". If you look at the new (man-machine) interface of OpenOffice.org 2.4.0, you will be surprised. Let's talk about the facts! According to the "OpenOffice.org Storms Away? In the article on the Continent (meaning "the OpenOffice.org storm keeps going" on the European Continent), I learned that after the release of the new version 2.4.0, in the office suites market in Germany, France and Spain, the actual use of OpenOffice.org 2.4.0 is comparable to that of Microsoft Office 2007 ). In a country in Italy, OpenOffice.org has downloaded January 1 this year times from April 18 to 1 million, including since the release of the new version 2.4.0 on March 26, until today (January 1, April 18 ), this new version has been downloaded 0.35 million times in Italy. Let's think about how big a country is in Italy (the population )? Of course, downloading is not the same as actually using it. However, downloading is always a "practical action" to love free software ".

On continental Europe, the public in Germany, France, Italy, and Spain like the free Office software package. in this case, is the free office package (especially Ubuntu 8.04) not Microsoft's "Star?
