On that note, I can see in my crystal ball that The Kompany will be receiving multiple checks from me made out to them for their software products, assuming that they work anywhere close to as well as they claim...
Well, I'm not so impressed with theKompany at the moment. They have aligned themselves in direct competition with open source products that already were quite good while leaving places where commercial products are needed completely void, and also failed to make good on promises on parts of KDE they said they would work on. And the office suite they are working on with HancomLinux (HancomOffice) isn't very good from what I can tell either. *sigh*
Hanscom v1.5 is pretty good. V2.0 will be native Linux, so I will be buying that one for sure.
Kompany will have to go some to outdo KDevelop!
The html editor in HancomOffice, called Quanta+, is very good. It is in the SuSE distro as a GPL app. HancomOffice is added some more 'features' and integrated it with their office suite. JLK
I don't think ICQ is worried at all at this point. Messenger has come a long way, but ICQ just plain ROCKS!!
They should be. I've already converted to Yahoo!
And I've converted to Gaim and can use every single major protocol all at once - see http://www.uninetsolutions.com/tbutler/misc/contact.html . ;-)
I was using Everybuddy, but ICQ changed their protocols so it made things somewhat rough. I have found KXICQ2. So far, I like it!
