Oooohhhkaaaayyyy.
"A group of Linux software developers has created the aptly named Gnome
Foundation in an attempt to create a free alternative to Microsoft's Windows
operating system."
1. GNOME!=Linux.
2. Linux is a goddamn free alternative to Windows.
3. GNOME is not a OS.
"Gnome is also developing a free unified desktop user interface, and a set of
productivity programs to compete against Microsoft's Office suite."
Gnome? The software, the GNOME Foundation or maybe even the Helixcode
people? ;)
"Sun has its own version called Star Office, which is due for release in
September"
I'm not quoting that out of context. So, Star Office is some sort of version
of GNOME, or some form of competitor to GNOME? Release in September? *l*.
I'm not usually the one to pedant, though I think I've got the knack. ;)
*sigh*.
