Another Take on Linux Desktop Limits
ByHenry Neufeld January 18, 2010

This time it’s from Serdar Yegulalp at Datamation. There does seem to be an “everything must be free” attitude in the open source community. I don’t know enough to say whether this results in precisely what the article suggests, but I have had difficulty with getting drivers, and I can certainly testify that the graphics…

This is an interesting article. I wonder if he’s right. I dislike Microsoft quite a lot, and generally I see this as one more reason. It would be nice, of course, if they became an ally on the patent issue as Shuttleworth suggests. In software patents have definitely become the enemy of innovation.

Libre Office Living Up to Its Name
ByHenry Neufeld February 10, 2011

I have long been an advocate of OpenOffice.org, and have some of my commercial clients using it.

Update to Bible Desktop
ByHenry Neufeld July 1, 2007

I wanted to promote this comment to a post to make sure it’s noticed: BibleDesktop has been released with parallel Bible viewing. There is an option to show the differences between any two versions of the Bible in the same language. That was one of the key things I wanted, and I’m glad to see…
