On the subject of MS Office vs. Open Office...
Really, I've tried Open Office (and Abiword, too) and I can honestly say that, for me, both leave out that certain something the MS Word has. What can I
say? I like Word because it functions smoothly and efficiently. Best of all, it doesn't mangle up my font faces when I save the file in a different format
so I can open it on another machine with a simpler word processor.
Open Office, on the other hand, seems to have some trouble doing this simple task right the right way and I find random posrtions of text blown up to twice its
original size in some system-standard font. I don't know if it's just me, but it's been giving me hell with my recent work. Hell enough that
whenever I want to work on it, I just boot into Windows 7 and be done with it.
On the subject of patents...
Yeah, the shit is simply messed up. I'm pretty sure that it's also somehow linked to other forms of copyrights, too.
