Re:"Finished" software (Score 1)

You risk being quoted and mocked not a few years from now. "Everything that can be invented has been invented." You can argue that the spreadsheet was finished when VisiCalc v1 was done. But if you really use spreadsheets to do real work you will definitively realise that there is a lot more to be done. Why? Because you want to keep doing your work faster, more efficiently and more intuitively. And bash Microsoft all you want - their PivotTable add-on to Excel was a game changer in its day - it revolutionized spreadsheets. Freezing open office now and you might risk loosing out on inventions like this. You think OpenOffice is finished? Let me throw a few things your way: 1) More rows in Calc 2) Optimized Multithreaded Calculation ... leading to ... 3) Server Version of Calc 4) Publish Spreadsheet as Web Service button in Calc. So there are four new things that will add a lot of value to a lot of people (except people doing their home budget or their timesheets). From Write's perspective - do you know how much font and layout technology there still is to implement? Oh wait - monospace is all you'll ever need. Where is the rudimentary grammar checker? Software is never ever finished. Bloat is not features. Bloat is features getting in the way of productivity. I don't mind a Office Suite of 20GB as long as it is fast, gets done what I want to in the best way possible.
