Andy Updegrove
has an interesting post up in which he analyzes
a product comparison from InfoWorld's Randall Kennedy. The upshot of Kennedy's comparison of office productivity application suites is that he finds the commercially developed, non-open source
SoftMaker suite of productivity applications to be the best suite for sharing and competing with Microsoft Office. He also fires off some notable criticisms of the open source OpenOffice suite. The funny thing is, SoftMaker is a small, commercial provider without an open source arm.
