Re:I WILL pay for Lotus Smart Suite for Linux (Score 1)

I lost faith in Lotus Smart Suite when IBM bought Lotus and messed with AmiPro. 'Nuff said. I disagree about the Smart Suite vs. StarOffice comparison. StarOffice 6.0 is much better than any of the Lotus office suites before it. We're all entitled to opinions, likes and dislikes, right? re: IBM. Of course their commitment is "far stronger." That doesn't mean Sun can't do Linux well. Solaris is the #1 UNIX operating system, according to D.H. Brown (2001) and other reports. But you're right: They're not as strong in the Linux space. And they're incorporating Linux into the fold, while IBM has been going strong with multi-millions worth of R&D in recent Linux development. I'd say IBM should be a bit scared, though, especially when Sun outsells UNIX servers over them -- and they resell Sun servers, including Solaris (soon to be able run Linux, and not just with the lxrun software). What a wacky world, eh?
