06/06/2004 01:45 AMOffice 2004 is the finest Microsoft suite in years. Unlike the
Windows-only Office 2003, which packed in business-use tools that
required office networks running Microsoft server software, Office
2004 emphasizes consumer convenience and usability.

Microsoft Focusing Office Suite On Web
Services
08/22/2004 03:16 PMMicrosoft, seeing it's growth beginning to slow in the office sector,
plans to reinvent the way people work, communicate and collaborate on
projects by retuning it's Office Suite toward web services.
"Office defines business productivity," Bill Gates,
Microsoft's chairman, told financial analysts in July. "The
productivity area is probably the most important franchise that we
have." Microsoft is banking on the Office initiative to help it
fend off the challenge from open source software and other
competitors.
"Microsoft is trying to make Office less a product and more like
an online service," said Nate Root, an analyst for Forrester
Research. "Adoption is going to be slow because Microsoft is
trying to change the paradigm. It's a fundamental cultural change in
how people think of and use Office." Because the next version of
Windows, called Longhorn, may not ship until 2007, analysts say, the
Office overhaul is needed in the meantime to deliver more Web services
technology to the desktop. The new capabilities in the Office system
are also needed to lure software developers to create more
applications that run on Microsoft products.
Challengers like Sun Microsystems' StarOffice, OpenOffice.org and the
Open Source Applications Foundation offer free or very inexpensive
alternatives to Microsoft's Office programs. At the same time,
Microsoft faces strong competitors in the collaboration field. IBM
(NYSE: IBM) , for example, has sold Web conferencing, Web-based work
spaces and other software for years, and leads in some market
segments.

Free Site License To Online Office Suite
For Indiana Residents
Free Site License To Online Office Suite
For Indiana Residents
06/24/2004 08:01 PMLast year, we had a story about the city of Houston
ditchin
g Microsoft in favor of an online office suite called SimDesk.
There hadn't been much news out of SimDesk since then, but
Broadband
Reports points us to a story about a new SimDesk deal with the
state of Indiana to
provide
SimDesk for free to every state resident for at least two years
(and possibly longer). It sounds similar to some "site licenses" that
many companies offer their employees or which universities offer their
students, though SimDesk isn't getting paid for this. Instead, they
seem to be doing it in exchange for an investment. Microsoft (just as
they did in Houston) is likely to cry foul, and complain that the
state is competing unfairly against them. It's also unclear from the
article how they prove who is an Indiana resident (the site appears to
require an address, but I imagine that could be faked). Also, what
happens if someone moves out of Indiana? Either way, the state could
just point people to something like OpenOffice, which is already free
if they really just wanted people to have a free office suite, instead
of having to set up a special SimIndiana site.

Can Microsoft Sue Open Office Users?
Can Microsoft Sue Open Office Users?
09/16/2004 01:02 PMMicrosoft this week said that is looking for ways to work more closely
with developers of the Open Office open source project, while at the
same time, apparently reserving the right to sue them, according to a
legal agreement between Microsoft and Open Office's major sponsor, Sun
Microsystems, made public this week. The agreement in question was
signed in April of this year as part of Sun and Microsoft's landmark
multibillion dollar settlement. It was released as part of Sun's
annual U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings this week.
The April agreement says that Microsoft can seek damages from Open
Office users or distributors for any copy of Open Office installed
after April 1, 2004. However, users of Sun's commercial distribution
of Open Office, called StarOffice, are protected from legal
liabilities under the agreement, says Russ Castronovo, a spokesperson
for Sun. Open Office includes a word processor, spreadsheet, and
presentation software based on technology Sun acquired in its 1999
purchase of Germany's Star Division. Sun released the code under an
open-source license in 2000.
