| Star Office for Amiga? Maybe. : Comment 11 of 16 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Jofre Furtado on 18-Jul-2000 22:00 GMT | | SI think that Star Office is Great considering it's been free so far... It's also great because it reads all MS Office formats; however, I have a few queefs about it- First, it's very closed in. Now, the AmiVerse concept is not like this. This program tries to take over your screen as your main browser, changes the GUI, and does not work as a Suite of programs, but rather a program with a Suite of simple tasks- If you want to design a webpage, you click on that function, if you want to type you click on that, if you want to draw a cheesy little MSDraw-like program comes up- the tools on screen change, but the GUI doesn't. Everyone should try the x86 version of it to see what I mean-download it from SUN's site for free. I like the idea, but it's really uncomfortable to use and feels a little undeveloped. It would be great if some improvements were added... |
