Comment Re:If I was in charge of LibreOffice (Score 1) 98

MSFT is unlikely to do that (but they might), their idea of relevance is getting the user to rent their computer in the cloud, they're just waiting for tablets/phones to get to the point where that's ideal for them.

Windows 10 and 11 are just stopgaps until they get there.

I always felt that MSFT didn't give a moment's thought to the loss of revenue through serial key sharing, as they wanted revenue from Office, but charging for Windows by the month, or other software like Photoshop (bulk of revenue going to Adobe) spawned through an image is probably ideal for them. Why bother about the legacy billing model that probably doesn't work.

Our idea of what's relevant is not what's relevant for the shareholders.

Interesting thought, so although the virtual human has better sales, are the returns figures much much worse?

Selling something may make a quick figure, but the returns may demolish it. The end-to-end report will be interesting but will probably be a full quarter behind, depending on how it's counted.

Think I use vi mode than any other program. Imagine driving that via voice:

"eye-print-open bracket-double quote mark-hello world-double quote mark-close bracket-semi colon-escape-double you-queue-exclamation mark-enter"

What a nightmare. Won't be primary input for me for a long time.

However, for a mobile phone, it might be better than OSK, slightly. Probably not though.
