Linux - SoftMaker stuff Question

[jimjutte]

I noticed a while back that SoftMaker Office is also on Linux. Are there any preferred flavours? Are Windows and Linux products aligned with each other? The obvious answer would be yes, but I don't want to assume. Are they also aligned with respect to feature releases? I noticed in some areas it says Linux and Windows only for example.

I'm thinking of making one of my computers a Linux machine to play with it again. It's been a while. Part of the reason I hadn't done this was having the time to play with Linux to learn about it.

Thanks.

Most of the features are available for both platforms, however features like OLE objects are available for Windows only (due to lack of support by the Linux operating system).

I understand... Thanks for the reply... to keep you from reading thanks a million times for all my posts... I'll let you know that there WOULD be a thanks everytime, but I realize you are very busy and could otherwise be putting your efforts into questions

Cheers

i did download the ubuntu version but as of yet have not installed it. (textmaker) when will 08 be ported?

[Tobias-L]

After the release of the Pocket PC version we will start porting to Linux.

When are you going to release Pocket PC version? I would also expect you to support the new Google Android operating system in future. It will dominate the market in 2008.

We are still working on the Pocket PC version and there is no fixed release date for the beta version. We will keep you up to date via our newsletter.

We are waiting for the release dates for the Linux version. Please issue your roadmap.

[Tobias-L]

Currently we are working on the Pocket PC version. As soon as the Pocket PC version is ready, we will start porting to Linux. However, there is no fixed release date yet.

Cool. Keep up the good work. Linux enthusiasts need your software.

Is the Linux public beta available for download?

It is weird that you keep repeating the same answers. When exactly?
