The remainders of GUADEC, the death of the hash downloader, a new preferences mock-up, 2.0 beta, anti-abi advertising, Mac OS X and that has nothing to do with the more interesting stories, like Linux going to Congo schools and Microsoft using DRM to lockout other office competitors, all of this and screenshots are waiting within.

Re: Open Office = over hype

250 MGs? Are we still talking about software here or special forces?

As for memory usage, Open Office seems to be using 40 mb here, that's slightly less than 250. And Draw is pretty much the only part I regulary use of it. ;) Nice to have for sure. Of course it might be smarter if it wouldn't load all the applications into memory at once, especially for startup time. I'm sure this will happen in the future. I don't mind it too much but then again, I'm everything but a heavy office user.
