I've been in IT teaching for 15 years from RISC OS to Linux and Windows and I am struggling to keep away from MS and Macromedia because they just seems to do more of the leading edge stuff that makes life more convenient. Oh blow, maybe I'm tainted ....
I agree with you about macromedia and I think it will be a while until we see macromedia on Linux. Macromedia have stated that they do not wish to port their stuff to linux as they don't think the market is big enough but recently did a slight u-turn and seem to be supporting the likes of cross over office. Having this suite on linux would be just as - if not more - significant than oo.org. As for MS. I think I will prob have MS office on a PC at home for a long time yet. As for paying to upgrade at work. If someone can give me *educational* reasons for upgrading that will justify the cost I'd be suprised (prob wrong group to expect an answer ;-) Darren Smith
