From the lens Is OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice better than Microsoft Office?.

    Microsoft Office has so many bells and whistles that it takes more than one college class in applications to learn it all. I have been teaching MS Office for the past 6 years, and still don't know everything there is to know. OpenOffice.org has the look and somewhat the feel of MS Office 2003, and works great for people who cannot afford or do not wish to spend the money for MS Office.

    Open Office, yay! I'm all for choice. If people like Microsoft products better, that's okay. But they shouldn't have a monopoly just because their file formats are incompatible with everyone else's!
    We don't allow that sort of thing in other industries why should we allow it in software?

    I just downloaded the latest version which is Open Office 3.2. I think open office is a great program and for myself there is no need to purchase Microsoft Office. Interesting lens!

    Only one way in wihch OpenOffice could realistically be thought of as better than the infinitely superior Microsoft and that of course is in price - i.e. no cost at all though it would be nice to know if anyone actually does give a donation for the privilege of getting free software. However, if somone is a novice and has not used Microsoft, or to any great extent beyond the mere basics, they woudn't know any better. Ignorane is bliss, so to speak.
