PHOENIX, ARIZONA, Feb. 19 (Xinhuanet) -- Gus Tsao had waited for 13 years to settle an account with Bill Gates, co-founder of the dominating US software powerhouse Microsoft.
At the just-concluded DEMO 2004, a two-day showcase of the world's latest IT innovations and products, Tsao, CEO of China's leading software developer Evermore Software LLC., stole the show by declaring a daring challenge to Microsoft monopoly with his innovative Evermore Integrated Office (EIOffice) software suite.
"Everyone thinks I'm crazy to take on Microsoft, but China is not going to pay Microsoft forever with their prices," Tsao announced during the demonstration of the Evermore Integrated Office suite to about 600 IT leaders, engineers and venture capitalists, who applauded in support.
THUMB-UP FROM MICROSOFT
The 60-year-old Chinese American is not the kind who thirsts for fame, rather he is a man that means business.
"I do not come here to seek fame, I just want to show that I can do better than Microsoft, regardless of its dominance and arrogance," Tsao told Xinhua at the conclusion of the DEMO conference held in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The release of the English-language version of EIOffice, the world's first integrated office software, was well received by both the host and participants at the DEMO conference.
"It's a very elegant piece of software. Can this company no one has ever heard of be a competitor to Microsoft? My answer is yes," noted hostess Chris Shipley, executive producer of the DEMO conference, sponsored by leading US IT research and marketing company International Data Group.
In an interview with Xinhua, Shipley said she began using EIOffice weeks before the DEMO conference and found it compatible with all the operating systems and formats, and "is very convenient to use."
The EIOffice software has fixed the shortcomings of Microsoft Office, by combining different office applications into one singleinterface, thus increasing productivity through streamlined work.
Dan Gilmore, a famous IT analyst and columnist for San Jose Mercury News, wrote that EIOffice "struck me as more advanced in some ways than the Microsoft product ... Overall, the product looks slick and capable of handling serious chores."
Tsao was more surprised Monday when Steve Sinofsky, senior vicepresident of Microsoft's Unit of Office, came right to him to givehim a thumb-up sign after Tsao's on-stage demonstration.
Sinofsky later also sent an email to Tsao to congratulate him on achieving "such fine level of innovation and integration" with the EIOffice software suite.
