Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I remember installing a very sophisticated office system running under Xenix back in the mid 80's on cloned 486's having "huge" 40 Mg hard disks. It cost a quarter of the inferior Windows + IBM set up. Ah, sweet days and all done without formal training.

Star Office :
@FearlessFly the name rings a bell but this was a specialised industry program written here in Australia by a local professor.
@FearlessFly Open Office (Libre) I've been privately using on Windows since they came came out. I even have it on my phone though it is only there out of curiosity as everything is email these days & I no longer have need for WP, spreadsheets or database. My go to writing app is Writer+ or the email program. Why complicate life when you can keep it simple - sadly a philosophy that Gates failed to understand. IMO 90% of networked and internet connected computers don't need to be.
Thanks for the history lesson, informative and engaging.

Posted by ScubaWagsWow, Windows 11 will have tiling windows. No one has ever done that before...

Posted by OldMetalHeadThis is quite interesting. I knew Ubuntu would be high, but I honestly didn't expect it to be that high.
