My fiance started a new class this week - an MIS (Management Information
Systems) class. While we were having dinner tonight she brought up the
fact there are some - lets say - colorful definitions of Linux in her
wonderful "Experiencing MIS" text book.
Under a section titled "What Does a Manager Need to Know About
Software?" there are a number of things presented to the reader as
"facts" that I just have to disagree with. It starts with a nice table
describing that describes typical users for Windows, OSX, Unix and Linux
desktop users. What is the description of a typical Linux user you ask?
"rare - used where budget is very limited"
That is right - the only reason to use Linux on the desktop is when you
are strapped for cash. I guess Google never got that memo. The extra
kick in the pants? Apparently the only commonly used application Linux
has is:
"Open Office (Microsoft Office look-alike)"
Never mind that Open Office contains a sane menu interface instead of
"ribbons".
In case the avid reader is curious about who created Linux - that
information is here as well. Linux is developed by the "open-source
community" which is described as:
"a loosely coupled group of programmers who mostly volunteer their time"
I guess they never got the memo that nearly 75% of kernel work is done
by paid developers.
*This is what is holding Linux back on the desktop folks. Not a lack of
hardware support. Not a lack of user friendliness. Just good old fashion
Linux FUD*. The best thing you can do to fight things like this is to
speak up and let the people spreading the FUD know it is not OK to
spread misinformation. Although I must say it really irks me seeing
information like this appearing in a higher education setting.
What is this wonderful text book you ask? As mentioned above it is
titled "Experiencing MIS", written by a man named "David Kroenke", and
published by none other than Pearson Education.

their dishonest asses off day in and day out for years about Microsoft
and Windows performance, stability and cost. The wackjob Linux
"community" is the very definition of FUD.
And the author should've mentioned how important the command line still
is to using Linux.

In contrast to "Hadron" Mr. Hoogland actually contributes to the

well educated, intelligent, competent and kind person.

When he does, it's because he's honest about what he considers the best
software.
And in case you missed it, he said just the other day that he hates Win7.

Well well well... I see that in contrast to Marti, Mr. Hoogland is
equivalent, and no Publisher equivalent (to apps found in MS Office Pro).
LibreOffice is OK for being free of cost, but it's a FAR cry from MS Office.

spring for at least one $500 license for the secretary to do their

The converse of this is that there are millions of companies//organizations
that continue to pay for and use MS-Office. Are they all "blithering idiots"
for spending money when supposedly something "just as good" is available for
free? They must clearly see some benefit in continuing to pay for and use
MS-Office because if they didn't get a ROI they would stop paying for it.
The IT managers at large companies are very smart individuals. If they could
save a substantial amount from their IT budget by using something that is

governments opt to use a program that costs nothing to acquire as opposed to
one that costs quite a bit. If the no-cost option was even close to being as
capable, though, one would think that a large percentage would - perhaps 50%
or more. And if they were both comparable options, other than price, then
surely the majority would use the no cost option, with some exceptions for
groups with uncommon needs served by the for-cost option or a few people who
just did not know better.
The very evidence the herd tries to use to show how lovely OO.o /
LibreOffice are really shows how they are failing to gain much traction even
though they can be had for *no cost*. It is not a good sign for the no cost
options.

I built dozens and dozens of sophisticated, attractive reports in MS
Access thru the years, but as of right now the OpenOffice Base website
says: "At the moment OpenOffice.org Base supports only very limited
report functionality."
Guess what? It said the same thing 4 years ago.
http://dba.openoffice.org/specifications/ReportDesigner.odt
I haven't checked recently, but for years the Base component didn't
support crosstab queries. huh?
By comparison to MS Office, Open/LibreOffice fails in data handling,
reporting, querying, programming difficulty, object model, speed,
interoperability with components, templates, wizards, charting/graphing,
etc.
MS Office is doomed by Open/LibreOffice hobbyware.
