The discussion started on NicaLiving about using Windoze vs. Linux. It is the usual uninformed caca. But, we have moved on to applications software. My question, which I want to present here, is why is anyone still using Microsoft Office?

OpenOffice(.org) is an office suite which will look very familiar to users of Microsoft Office but have some significant benefits including:

• Support a true open format as well as Microsoft's proprietary format and quasi-open formats
  

One of the most irritating things about on-line "things" is that you generally have to type stuff in some dumb box on-line. You don't get to think about what you are doing, why you are doing it, get drunk (or sober) to come up with better words and such.
