China challenges Microsoft
p2pnet.net News:- China’s answer to Microsoft Offices, Evermore Integrated Office (EIOffice) 2004, is slated to hit markets in China, Japan, and the US next Monday, says developer Evermore Software.
"EIOffice 2004 inherits the progress made in speed, compatibility, visual effects, and other functions since the previous edition and greatly strengthens the function of its science editor by providing over 2,000 commonly-used symbols of maths, physics, and chemistry," says the People’s Daily Online here.
Written in Java, the $149 EIOffice runs on Linux and Windows, says the site here.
Trial downloads are available for Japanese and US users.
‘EIOffice, or Yongzhong Office in Chinese, was developed by Evermore Software, an IT company based in Wuxi City, east China’s Jiangsu Province," says People’s Daily Online.
"Founded in 2000 as a joint venture between a local government-controlled company and a returned Chinese who had received education overseas, Evermore put all its 200 software engineers into the development of the company’s only product, EIOffice, thus becoming China’s largest developer of office software."
