Most corporate desktops are built on
OS+Browser+Outlook+Word+Excel(+Powerpoint). If that could be reliably
moved to a Linux distro, you could move a lot of regular users off
Microsoft.

Libre office is pretty much all there. Doesn't do meetings an calendars
. Thunderbird does but not sure about interfacing with others

And Word can Track Changes, again important in many organisations.

I was under the impression that the Linux Office equivalents for Word and
Excel were pretty complete ? If they're missing big stuff like that (with
no plans to introduce it) then again, stop wasting my time with "linux on
the desktop" stories


Of course it has that ability.


With Word, the de facto WP program across the business world?

T i m = T h i c k


Let's see (from those who *really* know).


Are you really saying that LibreOffice cannot track changes in a text
document?

And that

https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/...ecting_Changes

is a lie?



NB I use MS Word and have done since the 1980s but LibreOffice is IMO an
adequate application for most who don't want to shell out.
