Completely Agreed

But still there are some who cannot afford MS Office 2007
because of its sheer cost

Thanks for the info techtronic...

BTW how many of us, do you think, buy an original copy of MS Office 2007 just for typing a letter or simple text editing needs. Most of us don't need such advanced features...And i think OpenOffice is moving towards right direction...

You are trying to make Microsoft bundle Office with Windows which I think would be possible only when people stop using Office

^^ lol, nice one!

till MS doesnt take real strong anti piracy measures... i dont think many ppl ll be inclined to use openoffice... for many ppl (incl me) both are free...

Thanx for the info...really useful

hmmm...an average home user doesn't even have to use openoffice. He can use wordpad, kedite, etc just fine. I wasn't speaking from the cost point of view.

frankly, Openoffice has fallen behind times. When was Openoffice 2 released?. When is ver 3 coming?. Will there be a ver 3?

Thanx a lot dude for this piece of newz...

OpenOffice.org does need a radical overhaul. If it can get rid of its speed issue for example as well as offer more customizability. The 3rd version can be expected late this year or early next.

I for one, am sticking with 1.1.5 coz I dont need database part and it performs better for me than 2XX versions.

what do u feel abt Abiword?
i think it needs to evolve a lot?!

I just come to know Microsoft Office Costs !

OpenOffice is good but Writley is even better

G

OpenOffice is completely useless when it comes to ANYTHING beyond editing simple formatted documents. I don't know why they haven't given up on it already. I don't see much of a difference between any two consecutive versions of O

.

The functionality O

provides has already been implemented online in Google Docs, ThinkFree, Zoho...
