[techtalk] Applixware

[Lindsay Walker]

I used Applixware a lot when I was working at Sun Micro and it drove me mad.
It's not very stable and, compared to Star Office, its UI is terrible. I
wouldn't pay the money for Applixware when you could get Star Office for
free and its a much better product.

Cheers,
Lindsay
