Surprisingly, despite my knowledge that Microsoft Office products are still the leading software available on earth, its counterpart, which are the unappropriated office suits in the market today are gaining huge support from numerous users. This statement which raised the brows of Microsoft scions including
president Bill Gates, is revealed in the latest study conducted by Gartner which is a survey analyst firm. Although open source has the smallest revenue source, the concoction of myriad management system vendors which include Ingres and MySQL serve as the best point why computer addicts resort to the open system. And as time goes by and as technology continually develops, the unclosed database are incessantly evolving and improving as usability and functionality aspects are concerned. And with the support coming from consumers and volunteer
software developers, the era of open source as a primer office system might come sooner than we think.
Although MS will still be considered as the pioneer application for most computer users, I believe it wouldn't hurt if we give way for an alternative, right. Besides, based on the survey, MS office still manage to grasp on its position despite the many office suites that came out this year. I just wish that the evolution of more suites for business and personal use will continue for the benefit of both the company and us, users.
