“Applix, Inc., through its e-commerce site, has added to the
momentum and thrust of the open-source movement, with the release
of a new version of its Office Suite for Linux.”
“The latest version — Applixware Office Suite 4.4.2 — features
several productivity components, including Data, Graphics, Mail,
Presents, Spreadsheets and Words. “It also incorporates an
open-source software architecture,” said the company, “that enables
programmers and developers to access the core Applixware runtime
environment.”
“The fact that several features of the product are similar to
Microsoft offerings is of course no accident. The Linux operating
system (OS) is seen by many industry analysts — and by Microsoft
itself — as a serious threat to Windows market dominance.”
