ZDNet: KDE 2.2.1 rivals Windows

[W. Wayne Liauh]

This is a very important issue and I will get back to it later.  I have 
not used Applixware and would be interested in knowing how it works out. 
 However, I wouldn't summarily dismiss KOffice; I think it has a great 
potential.

Applix was great back in the early 90's when I first started using it and was still great in 99 when I started using StarOffice.  I started using staroffice because it was free and even though Applix was much better (I hated the desktop in StarOffice and it was a resource hog).  I seem to remember that Applix had Macros, but Ihave no idea how robust or compatible they would be with MS.  I might have to buy the new version of Applix to see how it compares today.
