What others are saying about AbiWordThere are those who have a hard time believing that an Open Source project can produce high quality software. Of course, none of them have ever worked on one before. Still, if you don't want to take our word for it, you might want to listen to what these reviewers have to say.If you know of any AbiWord reviews not listed here, please tell us. As a point of reference, AbiWord is currently at version 0.7.14-2. July 3rd, 2001The StartX Files: An AbiWord to the Wise - Brian Proffitt over at LinuxPlanet.com takes a look at version 7.14-2 on Linux.March 23rd, 2001An interview with AbiWord developer Dominic Lachowicz - Christian Schaller interviews lead AbiWord developer Dom Lachowicz. Great information on Abiword features and back-end.January 7th, 2001Making Linux Work In The Workplace: A Few Words On AbiWord - Linux Orbit's Terril West has more than a few words to say about AbiWord 7.11.September 9th, 2000Word Processor Series Part 1: Abiword - Linux.com takes a look at at AbiWord 7.10 as part of a series on Linux Word processing apps.May 14, 2000LinuxPlanet reviews AbiWord as part of a series of Word Processor reviews. The quote that blew me away was when LinuxPlanet referred to the AbiWord community as "an active community of developers making continual improvements to what may be one of the most anticipated projects in Linux".April 19, 2000OnlineLinux takes a quick look at AbiWord 0.7.8. This review is of the X Windows version, but what makes AbiWord great is that the Windows and Linux version are always feature for feature compatible. [Abi: Sadly, OnlineLinux is no more. But the review was real.]
February 4, 2000Attendees of the 2000 Linux World Expo in New York City voted AbiWord the Show Favorite again, this time in the Office Suite category. AbiWord was at version 0.7.8 at the time of the event.November 11, 1999CNET lists AbiWord as one of the essentials for starting a business without laying out $400 for an office suite. The exact words were "a top-flight word processor". *blush*October 18, 1999Nick Smith of Rocketdownload takes a look at AbiWord 0.7.5. It's great to see that the cross-platform approach that AbiSource is taking is being recognized. This is a short review, but it is well-done, accurate, and complete.August 26, 1999Another thorough review from linuxpower, featuring a number of screen shots of AbiWord in action. Reviewer Jeremy Katz takes the time to mention subtle usability features, like infinite undo/redo, which frequently get taken for granted (except when they don't work).
August 12, 1999Attendees of the 1999 Linux World Expo voted AbiWord the Show Favorite in the category of Productivity Application / Suite. AbiWord was at version 0.7.4 at the time of the event.July 26, 1999The Linux Journal runs a piece about applications on Linux. They describe AbiWord as "an elegant, open source word processor that delivers the Word functionality most people use."July 22, 1999WinInfo has a great piece from the perspective of a Windows user. AbiWord is not as well known in the Windows community, but it didn't take Paul Thurrott long to realize what kind of an impact a cross-platform Open Source word processor could have.July 1, 1999The Linux Gazette has quite a thorough piece about AbiWord 0.7.1. We are flattered that Mr. Ayers took the time to recognise the strength of choosing XML as our native file format.
June 2, 1999DaveCentral awards AbiWord 0.7 the best of Linux award. This review does a great job of pointing out where we were as of 0.7.0. |
