'''MOOS Project Viewer''' is a Microsoft Project viewer software application that allows you to open, view in a dynamic way and print any Microsoft Project file. It is running on any Java enabled platform including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Microsoft did not developed a viewer for its Microsoft Project product as it did for the rest of Microsoft Office products. This is why other third party viewer products were created.

Linux software equivalent to Windows software

2010-03-18T21:32:30Z

IoanLucian:

When [[migrating to Linux from Windows]], a common question is "Where can I get an [[application]] for Linux that is similar to XYZ program on Windows?" Fear not! Listed below are programs that could be considered roughly equivalent to certain popular Windows applications. Note that the Linux programs might not have all the features which can be found in Windows proprietary software, but unless you are an expert in some Windows program this should not be a major obstacle.

''"Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches."'' Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO [http://www.linux.org/news/2001/06/01/0003.html]

'''Microsoft Corporation''' is global software company based out of Redmond Washington. They are pretty famous, mostly for having written Microsoft [[Windows]], which along with Microsoft Office made them one of the wealthiest and most powerful software companies in the world. In fact, it made them powerful enough to succesfully win in a legal case against the US government who went after them after it became clear that they were breaking some basic anti-trust rules. Unfortunately, while they were found guilty (twice) there has been criticism that they have never been seriously punished.

In 2004 a similar case was brought in Europe. Microsoft was found guilty of breaking anti-trust laws, fined 497M Euros ($613M) and ordered to unbundle Windows their Windows Media Player software from Windows. Despite being a European record, the fine is around 0.1% of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_gates Bill Gates]' personal fortune, and many Microsoft detractors believe forcing them to support open standards such as [[ogg]] would have done more to stop monopolising.

Though they grew to their large size because they dominated the PC desktop with Windows, they have been focusing for the last eight or more years (since the rollout of NT 4.0 in 1996) on dominating as an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise enterprise] software solution, pushing products like Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, Active Directory, SMS, and a number of other enterprise products.

Most of Microsofts products have some open source competition, to which some find to be better than Redmond's equivalents, and some of which is worse.

== History ==

Microsoft was put on the map back when [http://www.ibm.com IBM] wanted to create a "personal computer" to compete with the popularity of the products from Apple Computer. IBM wanted to use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M CP/M] as the [[OS]] for this PC they were creating, but were turned away by CP/M's creator Digital Research in a fluke. Gates, Ballmer and Allen, not missing an opportunity, promised IBM an OS for their PC, so they bought [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86-DOS QDOS] from Tim Paterson for a mere $50,000, called it MS-DOS and the rest is history. Prior to this OS, Microsoft was mostly known for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC BASIC] and a small handful of other programming languages.
