OpenOffice.org Template problem

with 2 comments

openoffice_logo.jpgNow that I am using OpenOffice.org 2 more seriously for a while (on FreeBSD you could guess), I am badly missing Microsoft Office. And to me, its not about the functionality. Its about pre-installed templates.

This shows up when you want to create pretty presentations or professional looking text documents. Now it seems like that OpenOffice people has figured out this problem and included some new templates in their recent release.

I wish they would also make it less memory hungry. Opening a very simple spreadsheet on my workstation takes up to 130MB of memory.

Vulnerable Acrobat download

I always wonder how idiot some vendors are. Just see this screenshot:

Despite the fact that most people just ignore update notifications, If 6.0.1 is vulnerable, why do you let people download and install it?

You judge!
