+
+ <P LANG="en-GB" CLASS="western">The program has undergone some
+
+ significant changes since StarOffice 5.2 was released. Some of these
+
+ 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.
