Linux desktops continue to move forward innovation

On the surface, Linux desktop, a wide range, the release EXTRAORDINARY SPLENDOUR, has more than enough, then we must continue to innovate and go hell broke loose. Actually, Definitely not. Why?

Recalling a decade ago, Linux desktop is an ugly duckling, with the DOS about the same. The fundamental reason is the nature of Unix-Linux user interface is not friendly enough for end users, but Unix-Linux, put the initial design of its system safety considerations first, so Trojans and other malicious software viruses on it is not easy floating around, it can be said that, the user interface is unfriendly to the pursuit of security Linux a heavy price to pay. Into the Internet age, access to the Internet appear diverse electronic equipment, light of the trend, thus, the roughness of man-machine interface is even a popular Linux operating system, a major obstacle. Linux desktop and graphical user interface framework must be radically improved, this is a pressing matter.
About the beginning of this year, Canonical set up a company called “media perception” of the development team (the “Ayatana development team”), brought together all kinds of elite talent, innovation and to attack the Linux desktop, to produce the type of unified desktop Unity, the initial solve the user interface issues, followed, and the introduction of Wayland light graphics architecture (GA), toward the Linux desktop, launch a new round of innovation and impact. Currently, the latest version of Ubuntu 11.04 has been noticed. Can be expected in the near future, a very good access to the Internet will present a unified Linux desktop, in front of us (catch up with Apple!).

Only a pretty face, stomach is an idiot, or not agreeable. September 28 this year, LibreOffice free office suite (GPL v3) from the OOo “fork” appeared, December 24, LibreOffice official website officially opened, on this same day, LibreOffice of Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands and Russian Web site also have been opened, and the situation faction is excellent, just not Chinese website. It was quite a no face, primarily because, not long ago, there was the domestic industry bigwigs, that LibreOffice a “separatist activities”, and insisted on continued support for Oracle’s OOo office software package, this time even if we have trouble.

Into LibreOffice official website (www.libreoffice.org), just as to their own homes, and the site is free software for all languages garde roots, not the slightest bit of “official air.” To sum up in one sentence: LibreOffice is free software, do not shame shame People, I am sorry about it. LibreOffice The latest version is 3.3 (the second candidate), support the ISO international document standard ODF (and eyeOS line), fully compatible with Microsoft Office 2010 (reading, writing may be, the original is can open and save Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel files, as well as many other formats), one of the most important sentence is: “It will always be free and Open Source, so you have the best guarantee of unrestricted, long-term access to the software and your files”, This means that, LibreOffice always free and open source code, to ensure that you can not limit the long-term access to LibreOffice packages and their data files.

I now think the problem is present, the third round of government procurement of software around the corner, why not consider LibreOffice office suite (to purchase their services)? In the Internet age, things are not equal free junk, do not wear colored eyes and look at the issue with the old ways. First open the LibreOffice just 2 seconds, if you do not believe, you can try it yourself, LibreOffice run than Microsoft Office 2010 is even faster (the cursor in the document refers to speed)!

Note 1: Linux desktop laptop battery, though many aspects of innovation, but innovation is the core component LibreOffice, especially for the actual use of government agencies. Today, the world’s major mainstream Linux distributions have made clear that LibreOffice bundled with the issue, to insist against LibreOffice what it means self-evident (to stand in opposition to the historical development).

Note 2: At the moment, if you look at the official website of OOo, you will find all the little stagnant, full of dead, but an increase in the lower left corner of the main page of the official seal of a mark on Oracle, said Oracle this website have, as people’s hearts to be completely cool. When to build our own LibreOffice site?All right reserved!
