ZDNet: Review of KOffice 1.1

ZDNet has published a review of KOffice^TM. Titled "KOffice falls short of Microsoft Office standard: Updated Linux alternative to Office not ready for corporate big leagues", the lengthy review takes a close and, perhaps surprisingly, fair look at the strengths and weaknesses of KOffice. While generally lauding KOffice, its design, stablity and capabilities, the review identifies four factors which, in the reviewers' opinion, makes KOffice currently unsuitable for corporate use: (1) shortcomings of the MS Office^® import filters; (2) lack of MS Office export filters; (3) the lack of some KWord features, such as a thesaurus, automatic spell-checking and (uggghh) grammar checking; and (4) some missing features in KSpread, some easy to fix (such as case sensitivity) and some not so easy to fix (such as the ability to import VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) scripts). All in all, surprisingly similar to my own review.
