M$ Office is the epitome of what's wrong with commercial software.
Even as a Winblows fanboy I didn't like Office.  I liked their OS,
naively enough, but OO/LO spoke my language, even before I really took
Linux seriously.

Fact is, you don't know what you're talking about re: office software in
general and MS Office in particular.  You didn't 12 years ago when you
made truly lame arguments, and you don't today.

If you actually knew what you were talking about, you'd know LibreOffice
is the huge memory sucking bloatware.  Plus it's slow (at least on
Windows).  Plus LO Basic is pure crap.  Plus LO Base is a sad joke. Plus
the form and report designers are bogus.  Plus LO has no email
component.  Plus the documentation is crap.

If the devs had any shame they would walk away from that suckware, like
you and everyone else should - and would if it weren't free.

My gawd, the fact-free whining!

Office is what people are used to.  It wins on sheer numbers, and
validly on Wintendo features, if you demand that.  LO and others do
well, though.

The irony is this: how much has DFS used LibreOffice in order to make all
the claims above?
