+

+

+
+	changes are: 
+
+	</P>
+
+	<H3 CLASS="western">Removal of integrated desktop</H3>
+
+	<P LANG="en-GB" CLASS="western">	The integrated desktop, which
+
+	allowed you to run your whole computer  has been removed. It is
+
+	replaced by individual component modules such as Writer and Impress.
+
+	In Windows versions of the program you can access these quickly
+
+	using the Quick Start Menu. This was decided so we didn't force our
+
+	own desktop on users.</P>
+
+	<H3 CLASS="western">Componentization of word processing, spreadsheet
+
+	and graphic application modules 
+
+	</H3>
+
+	<P LANG="en-GB" CLASS="western">	The old StarOffice used the
+
+	integrated desktop and all of the included applications had to use
+
+	the same windows and icons. The new component architechture means
+
+	that each application can concentrate on doing what it does best
+
+	whilst still remaining an integral part of the complete
+
+	OpenOffice.org suite.</P>
+
+	<H3 CLASS="western">Removal of email and calendar and the schedule
+
+	server 
+
+	</H3>
+
+	<P LANG="en-GB" CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">	For
+
+	copyright reasons the email and calendar features (known as
+
+	'Groupware') were removed from the code. However a project to put
+
+	them back in has been started. More information is availiable at:
+
+	<A HREF="http://whiteboard.openoffice.org/groupware/index.html">http://whiteboard.openoffice.org/groupware/index.html</A>
+
+	.</P>
+
+	<H3 CLASS="western">Removal of the browser 
+
+	</H3>
+
+	<P LANG="en-GB" CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">	There
+
+	are plenty of excellent Open Source web browsers such as the Mozilla
+
+	Project. It was felt that duplicating this effort was a waste and
+
+	that we should concentrate on the Office features of the
+
+	OpenOffice.org suite.</P>
+
+	<H3 CLASS="western">Move to XML-file formats 
+
+	</H3>
+
+	<P LANG="en-GB" CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">	XML is a
+
+	way of describing structured information, like the highlighting in
+
+	text documents, in an efficient and open way. The new OpenOffice.org
+
+	file formats are much smaller than those of similar suites.</P>
+
+	<H3 CLASS="western">Improved Microsoft filters</H3>
+
+	<P LANG="en-GB" CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">	Most
+
+	people currently use Microsoft Office so excellent compatibility is
+
+	a must. OpenOffice.org provides filters so that even the most
+
+	complex features are usually decoded.</P>
+
+	<H3 CLASS="western">Asian language Support</H3>
+
+	<P LANG="en-GB" CLASS="western">	Chinese, simple and traditional,
+
+	Japanese and Korean are just a few of the languages that have been
+
+	added, check out the localisation project for more details.
