what is open software?
-

Open source software (OSS) is computer software with its source code made available and licensed in which the copyright holder provides the rights to study, change and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose. Open source is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open source software is the most prominent example of open-source development and often compared to user-generated content or open content movements.

Name top (fives) 5 most popular open source software and compare them with similar proprietary software (e.g. Open Office versus Microsoft Office).

Most people would prefer Mozilla Thunderbird because it provides so many features such as security protection firewall, privacy, and etc.  Although both Outlook and Thunderbird support multiple types of email accounts; however, Thunderbird allows you to find and filter messages faster by date, contact, and more. Also, Mozilla Thunderbird provides many extensions in terms of expanding your feature set than Microsoft Outlook.

            IE and Firefox differ in many ways and also offer many different features. A setback of using IE is that it only works with Windows and is not compatible with other operating systems. Also IE systems are slow when it comes to rendering pages, while Firefox can be optimized to render faster. IE also has been a constant target for malicious coders and lacks in security, though it has been constantly working on making its system faster and more secure for its users. A benefit of using Firefox is the amount of add-ons that are available, which makes it easier for users to customize their web browser according to their needs.

System Support: Typical or Criminally Old Computers For most computers that you would actually want to use, both OpenOffice and Microsoft Windows will work fine. While OpenOffice is said to be a bit slower, particularly in opening up complex documents in Microsoft's proprietary formats, the difference is negligible if you've purchased your computer in the last couple of years. Both platforms also offer comparable support for the Mac. OpenOffice offers better support for older computers than the latest version of Microsoft Office. Office 2003 says its minimum spec is a Pentium 450 MHz with 256 MB of RAM, while OpenOffice lists a Pentium 166 MHz processor with 128 MB of RAM. While Office 2003 requires Window 2000 or XP to run fully, OpenOffice will run on Windows 98. What's more, OpenOffice will run under Linux (as well as Solaris and BSD), and Linux runs much more effectively on old computers than Windows 2000 or XP. This makes Linux and OpenOffice a practical combination even for quite old computers, especially when few other applications are needed (in a computer lab setting, for instance). As an interesting side note, OpenOffice.org, Thunderbird, and Sunbird are all available as portable applications, while Microsoft Office 2003 is not. For some people, being able to carry around their personally configured office suite on a USB thumbdrive, portable hard drive, or iPod is life altering. Others may think those people are crazy and need to get a life.

OpenCart (vs. Magento)
- Both OpenCart and Magento are open source eCommerce platforms.
- Both are driven by PHP.
- Both have very large communities supporting them.
- Both OpenCart and Magento offer unlimited products and categories.
- Both platforms support multiple languages.
- Both are template driven, but OpenCart doesn’t offer quite as many options.
- Both offer grouped and related products.
- OpenCart provides lifetime free support and free software updates.
- OpenCart’s administrative navigation can be confusing initially.  Magento’s admin dashboard is very intuitive and simple.
- Magento can handle multiple stores, while OpenCart cannot.
- Magento lets merchants offer and honor discount codes.
- Magento has top of the line built-in SEO (search engine optimization) features, including SEO-friendly URLs.  OpenCart also offers SEO tools, but not to the power or extent of Magento’s.
- Magento also allows customers to create wishlists and compare products, while OpenCart does not.
- Magento offers a wide range of reporting options, including sales, search, low stock, and inventory reports, while OpenCart only provides sales reports.
As we have seen many times before, Magento offers a much more comprehensive eCommerce platform straight out of the box with more options than you ever thought possible.  Adding custom functionality to Magento is easier (doesn’t require third-party extensions), but typically will require more technical knowledge.  OpenCart offers a more simple foundational eCommerce store that can get beginners started quickly (potentially in less than 15 minutes).  Magento offers a great platform with a huge community that will only continue to grow (thanks to X.commerce), but it is not always the best fit for smaller merchants who just want to get their products listed online as soon as possible.
No matter what platform you currently use, Orange Collar Media can migrate your site over to industry-leading Magento eCommerce without needing to worry about data loss, duplicate data, or any other possible problems.  We can successfully migrate all imperative information from your previous site, such as categories (including category structure), products (including products options), customers (including multiple shipping addresses), orders, and manufacturers.  Check out Orange Collar Media for all of your Magento eCommerce integration needs
